Where can I find out about what I can do after law school?

I know this sounds like an overly basic question, but it's an honest one nonetheless. To clarify, I don't want more information on how bad prospects look ITE - I already am all too well aware of that. In fact, in searching TLS and Above the Law, I could basically ONLY found threads on how few jobs there are out there, as opposed to what jobs ARE out there.
Basically, I'm at a point where I want to start doing some thorough research on what kinds of firms / associates roles are out there (I've worked in a corporate env before, and BigLaw is appealing to me if I can get it), clerkships, etc. I've gotten my first T-14 acceptance, and will likely begin hearing back soon from other places, so I want to get the ball rolling on deciding whether or not LS is REALLY REALLY for me, before committing anything further time and money-wise. Is there a solid source out there for this? TLS is great, but it's a bunch of different threads and very anecdotal at times. Am wondering if you guys have used any good books / websites for this kind of post-LS info.
Or not, maybe I'll just roam TLS and ATL lol.
