Yo, NoJob, you were a better troll in the past.

University of South Carolina (#104) grad looking for jerbs in New York and failing. Hmmm. I would say "Nothing to see here, move along, citizen."

This post is completely surprising.

Well I couldn't help but to see this line:

The wistful Southern brunette rested one elbow on the table, a delicate engagement ring catching the sunlight.

Given how delicate is another word for small, this chick is just doing it all wrong.

Funny how the article predicts an end of a biglaw era while conceding that "her fiancé, who went to a more highly regarded law school, found a job at a prestigious midtown firm..." South Carolina Grad can't get a job in NYC and that is news? That wouldn't have been news in 2003. Perhaps she can move to SoCal and convince some firm that she has a degree from USC.

I was just wondering if OP actually read the article.

In this article we discover:

-South Carolina grads don't do well in NYC biglaw (shocking, I know).
-The legal market suffered when the economy suffered (again, quite shocking).
-50 of 300 current 3Ls at NYU who are looking for private firm work have not found a job yet. Another way of saying that is 5 out of 6 NYU students who want biglaw have already secured such jobs before graduating (and that's bad?).
-People who describe themselves as not being "especially passionate about being a lawyer" tend to struggle in NYC, a ridiculously competitive market.

Thanks for the find, OP. I was just about to send in my South Carolina deposit and then go shopping for some Manhattan apartments.
