Have a law degree and an arts degree (history/polisci majors) for undergraduate, and a Master of Laws for my postgraduate. Probably a little different from the US method of grad school for law. Currently work in a public policy position in a major government department.

From what I gather from my bosses, you used to get a Doctorate level degree in Jurisprudence. They complain now that its something more akin to a Masters level degree instead.

Though I'm sure someone who actually said they're a lawyer will know for sure. Also, this probably only applies to Texas, since in the US we like to let every state kinda do their own thing.

It is a "Doctorate of Jurisprudence", or a professional level degree which is distinguished from a Master's level program. Texas used to not allow attorneys to call themselves "doctor" or use "Dr." as a prefix unless they held a separate medical doctorate degree so as to avoid confusion; however, that restriction was lifted several years back, but the ethics committee advised against the designation unless you use disclaimers or hold a medical degree. Its easier to just not use "Dr." unless you have the accreditation to back it up.

US has undergraduate degree -> J.D. -> L.L.M.

J.D. and L.L.M. are both considered postgraduate/professional degrees. L.L.M. is usually reserved for people that want to specialize in a certain field or become professors.

bit late to reply but hey, here in England the Tier 1 helpdesk jobs really don't require much certs and a lot of the people currently employed in them don't even have any it's kinda a more who you know type of job but however I do feel that the certs would help boost me to getting more interviews. I signed up to this apprenticeship at the time called zenos (now pearson in practice or something they change name every term) which is supposed to help guide you into getting a career in IT, they pretty much guaranteed it although I was skeptical at first being 18 i'm kinda young and gullible. Turns out it's pretty much a massive scam 1/2 my class got jobs in IT and the other half kinda got pushed out the door and ignored by the employment consultant who was supposed to help as a reference etc when applying for jobs.

However it wasn't a complete waste of time I learned a lot of stuff and also aside from that gained interview skills and a competence award for timekeeping, communication skills etc so in a way that was a huge benefit choosing them over other apprenticeships offering the same certs minus the actual comms & competence.
