job prospects magna cum laude philly tier 2?
just graduated from philly area tier 2 magna cum laude. got a state trial court clerkship lined up but nothing after. Proverbial TLS "kill-self" or do I stand a chance at future employment? I guess this can be labeled as a "self-loathing" or "how screwed am I" post.

So like Temple/Rutgers/Villanova? People with magna at these schools seem to do okay in terms of big law/fed clerkships. Gun for a federal-level clerkship in PA/NJ/DE. Also apply to every decent business litigation firm you can around winter of your clerkship year, and don't forget to target NJ and DE too. Also apply to state government.
