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

If you are interested in job security for the long haul and getting hired in a law field while always being marketable, I would suggest getting a Masters in Tax to go along with your JD. Should be less than a 1 year program. Bama has a great MTA program (friend went though it few years ago). Tax attorneys are pretty much always in demand no matter what and are well paid. Also, international tax is a HUGE issue right now and I personnally know international tax attorneys have been cleaning up with more work than they can handle ever since the FBAR stuff. And it is an area that the demand for the services is still extremely strong and pay is very strong as well.
