But I think it is not the major itself that causes the employment problem of law, but the reason why there are too many graduates and the job market is saturated. As far as the law major is concerned, it is not only not in the employment red zone, but also has a wide employment outlet. As far as I know, let me give you a brief introduction.
1. Lawyer's legal affairs. It has been mentioned in the question. Most of the "old jobs" of law students go to such positions after graduation. Can be a lawyer, can also be engaged in the work of public security law. Lawyers are very hard, but if they have certain experience and ability, their income will be quite high and their time will be relatively free. Public security law is to compile personnel. It's good to be honest, maybe you can mix a cadre position or something. Looking around the world, there are many senior leaders from various countries and regions.
Gold medal lawyers are often the key to winning a lawsuit.
2. University teachers. This position seems to be a panacea ... after all, any major needs teachers to teach. Moreover, as a social science, law itself has a strong theoretical nature, and it is not impossible to study it. University teachers have a certain social status and are relatively relaxed. They have two holidays a year! But now the teacher is not so good. At least you have to study for a doctor and boil off half your hair before you are qualified to be a teacher. In fact, as far as I know, most teachers have considerable practical experience or pay equal attention to practice and teaching and research (for example, being a teacher and a lawyer at the same time), which can not only increase income, but also help your teaching and research.
The picture shows Wang Zejian, a civil law magnate in Taiwan Province Province, China, who has been teaching in the Law Department of Taiwan Province Provincial University for a long time, and is also a judge of the "Judicial Court" in Taiwan Province Province, which is a model of combining teaching with practice.
3. Corporate Legal Affairs Department. The trend of legalization in today's society is becoming more and more obvious, and enterprises have to deal with the law everywhere. This requires the help of professionals in this field. If you can be a lawyer in some large enterprises, you are generally paid, and once you accept a case, you can still be paid by piece. The larger the amount, the more you will be paid, which is proportional. Think about it, can the number of cases in large enterprises be low? It may even be that one case is enough for one year's salary. So, who said that if you study Buddhism, you will be hungry? As long as you are good enough, making money is so easy. Of course, only if you are good enough.
The above is my opinion. Although law has the symbol of the Ministry of Education every year, as long as you can stand out and prove your strength, then a bright future is waiting for you to set foot on. I wish all my law colleagues a bright future.
