re: Career Advice: Keep looking or back to school?

If you
1.enjoy your line of work/study
2.have money to tide you over
3.young with no commitments
then
1. Try for an unpaid/low paid internship - no matter what they say - every company is happy to do this. There are lot of non-profit /community/civic organizations that are more than happy to get help from those who have passed the Bar.

2. If not full time school , take part time courses in related fields or even computer related i.e. legal document/records management systems. Someone with working knowledge of the actual document system and the legal knowledge of the profession will be an asset to a corporate body if not to a law firm.

3. If you like the work at the organization or the courses that you took - then you can consider doing a part time or full time masters in it.
Don't jump into getting a masters without knowing whether you like that specialization. It is better to take your time and see if you like it than to do it and then regret wasting time or doing a half hearted shoddy job.

Good Luck
