Don't expect to be a lawyer right away. If you want a good job in the legal section you should start small, local governments, local shops. From there work your way up.

I don't know how it is for other degrees but I can see this working in a similaat fashion.

Save as much money as you can When doing shopping avoid A-brands and excessive purchases. It's honestly shocking how much money you can save by skimping a lil' here 'n there.
