No enthusiasm for this life.

I'm at that point where I'm almost out of law school, but I've become so bitter about the whole experience that I really wish I had never applied.  The entire culture is so schizophrenic:  you don't get As and you're not on law review, but it's okay, since grades don't really matter, EXCEPT if you want to work at a big firm OR if you want a judicial clerkship OR get other job interviews.  Those requirements for top 15% and/or law review to apply are quite apparent to me.

Sure, grades don't matter once you've got a job, but let me tell you, I don't have one right now, and I'm not finding any openings in the area.  I'm not willing to just put my blind faith into some mantra that "all law school grads get jobs," especially in this horrible economy.  I believe in empirical, not anecdotal, evidence, so I am going to keep stressing out about it until I can safely say I have employment.  Till then...
