I have a law degree.
Don't do it, it's completely worthless. Profession is closed as fuck. If you want any internship that's worth doing, you'll need to know people, the well-connected, rich kind. Failing that, you might have a shot if you're not white and have an insane GPA and enough extracurricular activities that you might be suspected of having control over time.
A good internship is ideal because if you don't get one you'll either get an unpaid internship where you're treated like a slave (imagine working more than 40 hours/week for zero pay at all for 6 months or more, depending on the jurisdiction) and learn nothing (and will find only shitlaw awaiting you after all is said and done, if that), or you get fuck all, which means you don't practice. And generally if you get fuck all once you will get fuck all all the time as firms look for interns at a particular stage of legal development.
And after you've passed your tests and paid your fees and can call yourself a lawyer, there is no guarantee that you'll get a job at all because the market is saturated with zillions of other fucking idiots who watch too many legal procedurals and thinks every lawyer drives a Lamborghini and fucks models every night, or perhaps worse yet, the other kind of moron : the one who thinks she'll (most of the time this particular nutcase is a she) change the world with her hopefully acquired law degree. That one is usually a SJW.
That's what law schools don't tell you : market is fucking rotten. There isn't a single nook or cranny in the whole fucking country that needs one more lawyer. I think even in Iqaluit you probably can't throw a snowball without it landing in the face of a lawyer. You can dream of being the exception all you want, but almost universally, those who find jobs in the legal market are the kind of lackwits who have Facebook profile pictures of them in fancy clothes, smiling and posing with a fancy drink in a fancy glass, who went to private school and who drive a Lexus their daddy bought them and take a quick flight south on daddy's credit card during the winter break.
Anyway, if the firm you articled with doesn't take you, you're fucked. If there's a single blemish on your resume and you don't have friends, you're fucked. By fucked I don't mean that you'll never find work (at least not necessarily), but that it will be the kind of work no one dreams about when they decide they'll attend law school.
I went back to uni and became a teacher. Shit work, but at least there's work and I don't have to jump through a thousand hoops to get it, or pay thousands of dollars per year in professional fees and insurance, or always be available at all hours of the day and the night for criminal dipshits to call me at 3AM, while I'm jerking off, just to try their damnest to make me believe they dindu nuffin, they good boys they wan go back to skool, or divide my hours into billable chunks of 6 minutes, or read massive amounts of very poorly written prose authored by decrepit and sometimes borderline senile "judges".
Better yet, there are some days where I find that what I do brings some value to the society I belong in, instead of simply contributing to the twisting of its rules in a strange parody of a Semitic religion that shall remain unnamed, for the nigh-general benefit of various kinds of human scum (because people actually worth representing generally would have no need for a lawyer if lawyers hadn't jewed out law in the first place, so when you have a good client, you feel more like a parasite).
I thank Christ every day I was born in Canada because at the very least I did not accrue 200k in debt pursuing the biggest mistake of my life as I might've had I been born a burger.
