Susan Gainen is a new Lawyerist Blogger, First Post -- Alternative Careers

I am a new blogger at Lawyerist: The Lawyering Survival Guide, which offers terrific advice about lawyering skills, marketing, practice management, technology, law school, and starting a law practice. Lawyerist also has links and posts about careers and ethics that illuminate real-world problems.

Although a lot of Lawyerist info is targeted to small and solo practices, as you know, the entrepreneurial skills that make a successful solo practice are the same skills that make or break a career in any other setting.

My first post is on Alternative Careers.
