After the Law Degree

Once you graduate from law school obtaining you juris doctorate and passing the much dreaded bar exam the job possibilities can seem endless. Your JD will hardly limit you on the choice of a career. Of course you can practice law and in many ways. You can work for a private law firm and work for the local/state/national justice departments. If you get the additional certification you can teach government or political science classes in high school. Also you could work as a professor at a law school and eventually make it to dean or president of the school. You could even not actually practice and still have a career making good money. Let's take John Grisham for example he has JD but never practiced law instead he used his degree to write books. Fiction books about lawyers and law that have entertained readers for many years and making him a noted author in retrospect. Some of his books have been adapted to the big screen.
