I've avoided talking to you all about this long enough... I respect many of you for insightful comments and suggestions, so away I go.

I just graduated from law school and prior to completion, I decided that the practice of law really isn't for me, so I decided that I wouldn't take the bar exam. However, since there are opportunities out there for people with law degrees or legal experience, I thought I would be okay. And there is stuff out there, I'm finding it and applying for it - BUT it seems that no one is calling.

Mr. Melidasaur, while supportive and says he understands, really doesn't. He always has a job, everyone in his field loves him and he really never has to worry because there is a need for what he does. Because he is the one that usually has amazing opportunities and I don't have any thing to bring to the table, I end up in places like Champaign, Illinois, which is very boring, but not as bad as I thought it would be.

This is going to be my first real job. I know it takes a long time, but I'm getting to the point now that i'm feeling like I will never work again and maybe I should just start from scratch. Maybe I don't understand the corporate mentality when it comes to hiring, but in my opinion, if you have a need, fill it and get on with your business.

I know I should be thankful because I've gotten to the place that I'm at with minimal harm to myself or others, but I feel like I'm the only one who has ever felt this way. Have any of you been in this place before or felt this way during a job search?
