This book, like the one by Deborrah Aaron, is at first promising, but ends up as mere fluff. One such author spoke at my law school. Her advice was a joke and a waste of my time and money. These authors are all making money doing what? Selling these books and helping the rest of us “find our passion” in life. The law books are no different than any “resume builder book” you can find for 1/10 of the price. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! These law books all have one thing in common — they take you through endless ridiculous skills assessments and other “exercises” designed to “identify your passions,” “explore your skills,” and have you making stupid charts listing all your best and worst qualities, etc., etc. What every lawyer who wants out of the legal profession wants to know is this: What are the viable jobs where having legal experience or a law degree are going to put me above the rest of the applicants? How do I find those jobs? What are the obstacles I am going to face in trying to get my name in front of the key hiring person? What are the ups and downs of each career? And most importantly, how do I go about getting my foot in the right door? I realize knowing your skills is important, but I can do that with a standard resume builder book for much less time and money.
I found this to be an excellent book which contains a wealth of information and references, excellent resources and lists of relevant Web sites, books, organizations & other sources for career guidance, job placement & assistance. I’ve been a lawyer for 20 years. I’d been trying to work through self-assessment in the traditional way together with others who are not lawyers, and was making some progress, but somehow not getting as much out of it as I would have liked. Then I discovered Hindi Greenberg’s book – and the whole self-assessment process came alive for me! I felt like Hindi had written the book for ME. I really connected with it, and began recommending it to colleagues & others in the profession. I’ve just purchased a second copy to send to my niece who is considering going to law school. The book is up-to-date and well researched – concise, stays on point, is easy to read, & is not cumbersome – a great tool for lawyers pondering what to do next with their careers or how to improve satisfaction within the practice of law, or for people considering law school or entering law as a profession. This book is a career management guide geared particularly toward lawyers, either seasoned lawyers wanting to explore options for a second or different career or different area of emphasis, or new lawyers just starting out and wondering what direction they would like to pursue within a legal career. The book is complete, takes a thorough look at the entire career development process, recommends that you start with self-assessment to discover your personal skills, values, interests, and personality traits so that you are equipped to choose an area or specialty within the law that most fits with your personal preferences, temperament and skills. Then it shows you how to conduct self-assessment and guides you through the complete self-assessment process by providing a comprehensive set of exercises to help you discover your interests, assess your skills, think through the changes you want to make and to set about achieving those changes in your career. It provides MORE than other general books regarding traditional career management because it is directed specifically toward lawyers and people considering a legal career. This book is for anyone who wants to manage, or take charge of, their legal career, and it provides excellent guidance in self-assessment to lawyers and non-lawyers, alike. I highly recommend this book to anyone considering a legal career, and to lawyers considering a career change.

Overspending by country’s largest local authority dictates cuts to services for elderly, job losses and pay freeze to save £75m Britain’s largest local authority plans to shed up 2,000 jobs, freeze staff pay and reduce services in what is being seen as a foretaste of serious cuts to council budgets across the country. Birmingham city council, which employs about 35,000 staff, has proposed the moves in an attempt to save £75m over the next year, cover losses in income and keep a lid on council taxes rises. The crisis is understood to have been triggered by multi-million pound overspends in child protection and services for older people and adults with learning disabilities. The job losses are understood to be earmarked for areas such as adult social care, housing, libraries, sports centres, museums. Day centres and care homes for older people face closure. The council chief executive, Stephen Hughes, said the financial challenges facing local authorities were even more dramatic than…

Very sad but the kid riding with Nick was just as responsible as he was. It wasn’t like he didn’t know what he was getting himself into. His family is just trying to cash in because of who Nick’s dad is.
