If you are fortunate to have found an employer you like in a field of law you enjoy, then you should do everything possible to get a piece of the pie. In the law business we typically call this "making partner" - and that's the
If you are attending a conference or trade show as a representative of your business, you will likely want to ensure that your company name is the one that everyone remembers after the show is done and packed and everyone has gone home. You can do this by offering an incredible product, of course, but there will be much competition between incredible products at any good conference or trade show. How do
Getting into a good law school - good being defined as whatever the popular law school rankings consider good this week - isn't such a big deal either. That's what my book, Covert Tactics for Getting Into the Law School of Your Choice is all about. But getting into law school is just the first step in a very long road. Once you accept that offer of admission you have committed yourself to spend three years and, potentially, hundreds of thousands of dollars educating yourself so that you will be qualified to practice law. Of course, these costs don't even include the potential income you are sacrificing during your additional studies.
Then, unless you are one of the few fortunate law school students who manage to land a job with a big firm paying top dollar, you will likely be surprised to find yourself making less as a new lawyer than you would have been making if you'd skipped law school and instead pursued that career in pharmaceutical sales.

You won't feel comfortable doing something else and employers won't be interested in training you to do something entirely new, particularly if you are not willing to take new lawyer pay.
So the next step in the journey is migrating to where you want to be. If you have allowed yourself to become stuck in some narrow niche you may have to simply strike out on your own to do what you want. That's easier than you think, even if you don't have any experience - but I'll leave that for my next book.

Recent articles suggest that many Americans work overtime hours for free. Especially with salaried jobs that are based on hourly wages for a 40 hour week, most hard working career minded individuals are willing to stay long past their 8 hour work day. They don’t want to feel worthless. But, they average nearly an extra full day per week.If they were to leave exactly when their eight hours were up
