Attorney job leads weren’t at the top of our list when we first started posting work at home jobs for moms on this site. Admittedly, there was an assumption that attorneys either weren’t interested in work from home lawyer jobs or that they weren’t having a problem finding work and didn’t need our help. Instead, we focused our efforts more on freelance writing, social media, call center and transcription work at home jobs for moms. While we’d post work at home attorney jobs here and there, they were sort of an afterthought. We admit our mistake and we humbly apologize.

See, we now realize that attorney jobs are just as difficult to find in this scarce job market as other jobs– work from home or otherwise. New law school graduates are having a particularly difficult time finding work as inexperienced attorneys. Unfortunately, student loan debt, living expenses and other financial obligations still must be met and without a huge amount of lawyer jobs to choose from (and with stiff competition, in general) many are having to take jobs outside of the legal realm just to make ends meet. In this USA Today article, economist Richard Vedder warns that “we’re entering the age of the overeducated American”. In other words, more and more Americans with college degrees are being forced to take lower paying positions outside of their training realm just to get by.

Here at the Work at Home Mom Center, we feel your pain. If you are a lawyer, jobs may be a little scarce right now, but please consider some of the work at home opportunities posted in our job leads section, as well as across the web. Granted, for a lawyer, jobs that allow you to work from home aren’t as readily available as some of the others we share here, but as we do come across them, we will gladly do our best to bring them to your attention.

If you’d like to work at home as an attorney, jobs are available, so don’t give up! Keep checking our daily job leads and keep an open mind to the possibility that you can earn an income working from home. Aside from our job leads section, consider also searching on LinkedIn, Indeed and CareerBuilder.
