alternative jobs for solicitors

jollybean · 2009-11-17 10:00:00

Hi, I'm due to qualify as a solicitor in April. Although my experience is mainly in litigation I seriously doubt I'll be able to get a job! (so much for the last five years of slogging it while being totally broke and now in high debt:mad:) Question is this....what are newly qualified solrs doing as alternative work ? No…

I'd have thought you'd be ok with decent litigation experience, but that's my view.

There are numerous alternatives, but like most markets things are quiet at present. Some of the banks are staffing up pre-NAMA.
