I agree. just to remind that, chasing dream is expensive, that means, you really need to consider the return over investment of going to a law school, no matter LLM or JD.
at least, you need be smart in making your choice / decison/ plan, every successful people is a smart people in one way or another. if you do not narrow your career options to being associates in Biglaws only (i understand it would be extremely difficult for us to forget about this option), you will find the world is quite big, for example, you can be paralegals in US or PRC (LLM or JD not necessary but preferred, you even can do so without a law degree), be US in-house counsels (requireing LLM or JD if you want to do in-house in US unless you so lucky), be associates at mainland domestic law firms (LLM or JD not necessary although sometime prefered, but the return over investment is quite low if you do LLM or JD unless you are so lucky), be legal professionals in international law firms in mainland (LLM or JD not necessary but preferred as many people have got their LLM or JD moving back to China; but difficult to get in. sometime you also can get in with a chinese LLB with superior English skills) mainland in-house counsels (LLM or JD not necessary although sometime prefered, but the return over investment is quite low if you do LLM or JD unless you are so lucky), employed by other employers which do not require LLB but where legal knowledge could lend you a hand, and the last option is that you can employ yourself if you are smart enough with good EQ. However, no matter what you do, if you want to be entitled to the possibility of a decent life, remember, your English skills are the first thing you should improve, which can act as your first name card to impress your potential employer when you do your presentation during your interview. and the second is that, try to find an employer you can really build you professional skills and experience, once you are experienced, it won't be difficult for your to find a good place.
