Fed up with law practice? You may want to consider becoming a law librarian, an accountant or a law firm recruiting coordinator.
The blog Above the Law is running a series of posts about career alternatives for lawyers and has featured all three careers.
The latest post focuses on legal recruiting professionals who work for law firms. The blog says these employees work with law schools to coordinate the interviewing process, run summer associate programs and oversee lawyer recruitment.
The post on law librarians quotes from a person in the field who says the job has "great hours, low stress, academic lifestyle and the chance to abuse law students at will."
Accounting jobs are a popular alternative for tax specialists, the blog notes in a post on that field.
