Lawyer jokes abound; they’re like moss on a Mississippi tree stump. Some are funny, but most are just that: jokes! Next to becoming an RN – Registered Nurse, getting a degree in law can be one of the most important educational opportunities you can choose. You will, however, find that getting that law degree will be tedious, frustrating, and time consuming. When we were young kids, most thoughts drifted toward becoming a pilot, sports star, or something to do with the medical profession so we could be in a position to help people in their daily lives. What may have escaped you then, may not escape you now that you’re older, and have decided that there is one path to follow to fulfil your destiny, and that’s being a professional lawyer.

Looking long-term, if your goal is a Bachelor of Law degree, in many cases you will be generously rewarded for your legal services not only in the USA, but foreign countries, as well. Even though the certificate in legal practice that waits at the end of the rainbow is worth striving for, the trip will be fraught with law school frustration which will, in many cases, require you to have a strong sense of equanimity stored away. It will take a considerable effort to become a trusting and recognized lawyer not to mention the years of studies involved. But a law college allows you to take a giant step in entering plenty of well-paying endeavors. If you’re interested in working at the corporate or government level negotiating verbose contracts, or defending or prosecuting criminals, a law degree is your ticket to opening plenty of doors.

A law school education plus a CLP offers plenty of career options for graduates even to the point of opening up your own law practice, and specializing in tax or real estate. Having that degree in law can also provide an escalator for a career in politics. In a recent memo from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, many state and local officials hold some level of law knowledge, and in the Federal Government, over 168 representatives, and 57 senators are licensed to practice law. That same memo also projected that employment of lawyers will grow exponentially up to the year 2018. With those recent statistics, it doesn’t take a crystal ball to see that getting involved in taking a law course is a profession worth pursuing. Actually, it has been pointed out that a level of law college education including a Bachelor of Law degree is often a requirement for running a senatorial or congressional campaign, or working in politics at the presidential level.

One of the best advantages of a law education you can sum up in two words: self-employment. This gives you greater freedom and more flexibility in deciding which direction you want to take your interest. If you are a “person” type, you can help families by working in areas of adoption and/or family law. On the other hand, there can be satisfaction working for social causes and justice, and assisting those who are less fortunate or disadvantaged. Regardless of where your heart and education takes you, the money will be pretty good. The latest average annual income figures show a range from $105,000 to $128,000.

This is the digital age. Technology has been given custody of everything from our shopping lists to our bank accounts. It’s only about time that our high school memories join the fray. For the digital generation, a digital yearbook is inevitable in reliving those precious memories of high school, middle school, sports team, or even community group.

For some people, however, a traditional physical, hard-copy yearbook still holds its appeal. Even the idea of going digital may even seem intimidating for most. So why go digital?

— For the most obvious reason, digital yearbooks can include videos and audio that otherwise cannot be included in the printed yearbook. Include video footage of events and activities, as well as, hundreds, even thousands, of photos. Because of economic constraints, traditional yearbooks contain only few images and the rest end up being discarded.

— The economic climate has required schools and groups to go digital as the high cost of printing a school yearbook has become daunting. Digital yearbooks are cheaper to produce. The cost of distributing a yearbook on CD or DVD is definitely lower than printing on paper.

— A digital yearbook can be a great fundraising idea for schools. Create and sell digital yearbooks on CD or DVD-ROM. The money raised could offset the high cost of printing the yearbook.

There could be hundreds of reasons to go digital and hundreds of reason not to. However, with a digital yearbook software, schools, clubs and groups will find it easy to go digital. SpryBook, a digital yearbook software (http://www.sprybook.com), provides students a fully interactive yearbook experience with built in side bar navigation, search facility, background music and even an auto play button that will automatically play the digital yearbook in sequence. There are also other ways to create digital yearbooks. This includes using existing software like Microsoft Word or Powerpoint, using sophisticated expensive authoring software or going online. To check out these options and more, see this article on ways of creating an interactive digital yearbook:

Even if you’re more traditional, and don’t want to see the traditional yearbook being replaced by digital technology, going digital is still an option. A DVD or CD-ROM yearbook can be included as a supplement, distributed with the hard-copy so students can keep a traditional copy in their bookshelf, as well as a digital copy on their computers. Note, however, that some digital yearbooks are mere compilation of photos and are shown in a long sequence in DVD. For a truly digital yearbook that offers interactivity, a digital yearbook software like SpryBook is required.

To go digital or not to go digital? That is not the question. The question really is when will the digital world catch up with the yearbook. Isn’t it about time the world of yearbook became up-to-date with the digital age? Well, for now, the preference is yours. Going digital will bring you into an exciting new world of interactivity and multimedia. With the growing popularity of e-books as a form of media, why hold the yearbook back? Digital yearbooks offer interactivity which brings a whole new aspect to the experience of reading them. Readers will now be able to recall their memories in vivid and exciting new ways.
