YES! I'm in the job market right now, and it's terrible. Of course, when I applied to law school shortly after 9/11, we didn't know how the economy would go or that there would be such a freeze/lull in hiring. Finding a job right now sucks, even being about to graduate from a Tier 1 or 2 school (my school keeps going between). There is a LOT I wish I could've/would've known before going to law school. And it's not just in my area, I know for certain from friends that pretty much everywhere else is the same.
Also, something like entertainment law is incredibly saturated, b/c it's seen as a "glamorous" job. Only a few people go into law school with a very particular type of law in mind that they want to practice. They'll likely change their minds. It's not really good to limit yourself also when the job market is tight. There's not many jobs at all starting out in entertainment law, if any. People that practice it sorta made their way there through various routes.
People ask me what kind of law I want to practice in, and honestly, i'm VERY flexible and open to ideas. I have to be, or else i'll be on the street in a cardboard box pretty soon
