LLM IS FOR ACADEMIA AND RESEARCH !!! PERIOD !
Law is a professional degree. A graduation is enough to get a job. If you're not getting jobs, then intern. Work experience matters more than piling up degrees. Getting an LLM will not magically get you a job.
An LLM is not an MBA ! There is no RoI..it's a intermediate degree, that means it's only a stepping stone to a PhD. And why do you need a PhD ? It's only to get into academia.
Stop chasing degrees when you don't know what you'll do after completing it.
So many kids like you are running around in academia, who have no interest in teaching or research, and end up ruining the next generation without passion. Grow up.
