Upgrade,
I fully agree that it is very difficult to gauge the job opportunities outside of the top 20. I am not as interested in BIGLAW, not because I am resigning myself to a mid-sized firm, but because I would like to have some form of life outside of work. Unfortunately all we can do is speculate, since I could end up at the top of my class or at the bottom, though I would think (a little biased maybe) that the former is more likely than the latter, but again who knows. I figure I am not really going to have much of a choice since I bombed the LSAT (did not want to take a year off to score higher, but maybe should have) and am not really competitive at T20 schools.
