Do you know how many ways that type of degree is useful- long term??
There's opportunities out there. Biglaw isn't the only way- shelf life is 4-6yrs. max.

Careerist: But Where Are the Black Partners?
By Vivia Chen
New partner classes include more women and minorities, with one glaring omission. Read More But Where Are the Black Partners? | The American Lawyer
Results - Partnership: (note that "of color" does not mean black)
Sadly, we know from recent studies on diversity in the profession that black equity partners are rare. The National Association for Law Placement’s latest data shows that black partner rates have barely changed since 2009, and the rate of black associates still hasn’t recovered since that recession. Another study by Vault/Minority Corporate Counsel Association finds that the rate of black lawyers promoted to partner last year—2.3 percent—was actually the lowest to date. And if the new partner announcements so far are any indication, this year could be just as depressing or worse.

Can't have billable hours if the Partners aren't giving you "billable" clients . There's only 3 where I'm at and zero in this year's partnership class.That's why I say if you get in to use biglaw as your foundation, all well and good, but it's not the end all career trak.
