Save your money

Review by Clint Dunaway, 2009-06-26

This book is now old and outdated but even when it was brand new it wouldn't have been very useful. It doesn't provide any new or creative ways to use your JD.

just poor

Review by guy incognito, 2009-05-12

very vague, unhelpful, i trashed my copy, not even worth reselling because I wouldn't want someone to waste their money on this. One chapter of the book talks about various professions people who are lawyers have ventured into. Some of the items are: restaurant manager, chef, erotic bakery owner....
Seriously, anyone that is a lawyer/looking to be a lawyer find that last profession helpful? Probably not, pass on this book.

Title IS misleading.

Review by Sporatic Reviewer, 2009-03-18

I am writing this review just to reiterate another review a customer wrote that: "much of the first half of this book focused on the question of whether you should leave the profession of law (which may be helpful for people who have not yet made this decision.) The remainder of the book was EXTREMELY UNHELPFUL to any reader. When it comes to the "300 things" you can do with a law degree, Ms. Greenberg simply lists other professions that lawyers have held. Very superficial." It is exactly how I feel about the book, though I gave it an extra star than the other review. I'd think that the 300 things would be the meat and potatos of the book and it'd be the most helpful part of exploring options, but it's merely a list of a professions that other lawyers have held.

Terrible book, title is deceiving, terribly written, no practical guidance

Review by Susan Collyer, 2009-02-02

Same comments I wrote for the other similar book. Nonsense. No practical guidance. The title is deceiving. The only lesson learned is that I could likely publish anything with the right title targetting a plentiful audience.

not helpful

Review by Brooke, 2008-11-24

This book was useless and provided no real advice for someone seriously wanting to make a career change.
