Doing Well By Doing Good, or Profit by Service

Just a thought for those of you who are unemployed, underemployed, or otherwise looking to gain experience or visibility: non-profits and pro bono work often lead to new, paying clients. It's not hard to make somebody ecstatically happy when you're working for free. And people who are that happy often tell their friends, neighbors, and the person in the supermarket checkout line behind them about their experience. While you may not get too many people who, unprovoked, gush about "Let me tell you about my great lawyer!", if a situation comes up they will definitely have you in mind.
