Law is still a good field to go into. My husband just graduated from law school in May and we moved here so he could begin his career at a firm uptown. The vast majority of his law school classmates received jobs at firms as well (not teaching or miserable, as a previous poster mentioned).
Of course, talk to them in 5 years and they might all be miserable!
But then again, you never know -- any profession might make you miserable if it's not your cup of tea.
Not to say that all law school graduates are as lucky as my husband and his classmates. There are a MILLION law schools out there, and each one is churning out 150 or so graduates a year. There are simply not enough good positions to accomodate them all. If you decide to go to law school, I'll give you two pieces of advice:
1) Go to the best school you can. And bust your butt to get good grades. If the best school you get into is not very highly rated, re-think law school. If you decide to go to a middle-tier law school, you MUST graduate at or very near the top of your class. You will NOT get a good job in today's economy if you were a middle-tier student at a middle-tier law school.
2) Re-think your goals for a legal career. I have never even heard of any recent law school graduate working in the entertainment or fashion fields. Those jobs have to be incredibly competitive, and they will not go to a junior lawyer or a new graduate.
As far as a career involving travel, I second a previous poster's advise about the military. My husband and I were both Army officers and believe me, we saw much more of the world than we ever wanted to! LOL. An ROTC scholarship will go a long way towards paying for school, even out-of-state school. Also, life as an officer in the military is much different than if you enlisted as a young high-schooler.
No matter what you do, good luck!
