Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: "...and even if you don’t end up being a lawyer, there are so many jobs you can do with a JD!"

But what jobs, exactly? Branden & Jelena break down some non-lawyering options for law school grads, while also discussing the question of whether or not you should go to law school if you think you’d prefer a non-lawyer job.

Listen and learn . . .

  1. Which non-lawyering jobs for lawyers actually require a JD
  2. How much money you can expect to earn if you get a JD and then pursue a non-lawyer job
  3. How many years of practice as an attorney you’ll need to qualify for some of the best non-lawyer jobs for JDs
  4. Which lawyer job is the least like working in a big firm (and maybe the best option for people who like the law but don’t love law firm culture)
  5. And more!
