Top Law Schools

I guess what I am asking is:
You graduate Law school, now what?

Corporate? Public Service? Patten?

Basically I have worked for the city government for 8 years and looking to enter law school, but to get a job federally as a prosecutor. Due to my background and experiences, federal government is somewhere I want to work.

Whats your goal out of law school? What ? With who? What state?

My ideal would be tenured law professor. Lots of money to write dumb stuff.

The reality is that I will probably be unemployed.

Also you're not gonna get a job as a federal prosecutor straight out of law school, and chances of becoming a federal prosecutor are so low that going to law school BECAUSE you want to be a federal prosecutor is a bad decision.

So what should i do to become a federal prosecutor?
Not bother? Just because its low.it will happen?
Great outlook

My ideal job is retiree

No, because the likelihood of the result is extremely low, you should not spend three years of time and six figures of money pursuing that goal if you cannot determine other, more plausible, outcomes that would satisfy you upon graduation. Having a lofty goal is not a problem, but to have no alternative to the lofty goal, or no comprehension of how lofty that goal is, is not just a problem, but entirely foolish.

Federal Judge

Oh, and I would like to be the person that gets to add new rules to the BlueBook.

I would be a legal librarian at a school.

I don't know where you get the idea that we're young, that we are "kids", or that we are depressed.

I know someone who started as a law librarian at our state supreme court law library last year - she doesn't have an MLS. (But I admit a LS would probably require one.)

I wouldn't want to be a lame ass court librarian. Can't hit on 1Ls at court.
