Super scary (for lawyers, mainly)
This weekend, I went to Wal-Mart (I know, but I needed mascara and they're the only place that has the brand I like, and Target didn't have any wall sconces so I decided it wouldn't hurt to check).
Anyway, a guy I went to law school with was working there as a greeter. It did not look like he was working in any sort of managerial capacity.
In all candor, I do not know if this guy passed the bar (or even what his name is), but if that's the state of legal jobs in my community, we're screwed.
Re: Super scary (for lawyers, mainly)
Ugh. I'm so terrified of losing my job. At least I'd have about 6 weeks notice. I actually had to work at Target around Christmas time because I hadn't yet found a lawyerin' job. It was not fun. The worst part was the coworker who thought I was NINETEEN freaking years old. I so can't go through this again.
A big problem this year is that retailers arent supposed to be hiring in the numbers we are used to becuase it is supposed to be such a crappy holiday shopping season. So it may even be hard to get a crappy retail job at this point.
I am sure there are plenty of people in my industry working retail right about how, so if I get laid off they will have already snatched up the good retail work LOL
I had many, many days where working as a greeter at WalMart sounded a heck of a lot more enjoyable than doing the legal work piled on my desk. Lord knows I used to fantasize about going back to tending bar, which I did right after law school to earn money. Perhaps he self-selected himself out of the legal market.
But yeah, the legal job market stinks.
Yup. H got laid off about a year ago, and after exhausting all electrical options he applied to Home Depot. All positions have been filled there.
Hell, it's scary for anyone to hear about, not just lawyers.
H is a bartender and he said that tips have been noticeably worse lately. Just another indication of what's going on these days.
