So, yes, job hunting will be very difficult. You could get a government job, or work in your own private practice, but no national/international firm will hire you. Your income will be 60-90K per year to start
$60-90K starting is not realistic. New lawyer salaries are feast or famine. Unless you're among the 10% or less of lawyers who work in "biglaw," then your salary to start will be 40-50K in Texas, with the biglaw lawyers making around 140K.
