The Myth of the Post-Bar Jobs

You hear it uttered casually as if its fact.  I've heard it from the mouths of school administrators, friends, family, young lawyers, older lawyers, people down at the courthouse, and people hired by the school to talk to us about getting jobs.  It goes something like this, "once you've, like, passed the bar, employers will tots be like 'here's some money in exchange for the goods and/or services you've supplied for me today!'" (while I presented that as a direct quote it was actually more of a paraphrase).

There is an old saying in politics, that if you say something enough it becomes truth.  Well, right now, among other people similarly situated as unemployed, recently graduated, bar-results awaiting young adults, the story that jobs will appear once bar results are released is the effing gospel.  Except, unlike other oft-cited potential untruths, like the Yeti is Saskatawani (we all know he's British Colombian), W. Bush ran a successful business, and women are just as smart as men ( I kid, I kid, we all know women are WAYYY smarter than men), this one will have a day of reckoning very soon. 

And I really hope this one is true!
