It's Almost Over

I'm about one week away from being done with law school. I couldn't be more disappointed about it. I'm seeing NOTHING of use from my Career Center (I'm guessing they've cashed it in for the year). The postings I'm seeing on their job board include Teaching English As A Foreign Language in China. "Thanks for the $100K, now go earn pennies in China NOT practicing law". I'm seeing NOTHING helpful from my school at all (unlike what I'm seeing other law school's doing to help graduates during this incredibly horrible economy). And I'm getting more rejections than ever before in the mail.
I started this blog over 8 months ago thinking it would be way to voice my frustrations with the "process" for a little while until the "good news" arrived. No good news to be heard though.
