Depends where you are. I am applying to get a JD right now so that I have more to offer. But as I live in New England, there are many places to work. If you're rural, I'm sure it's pretty bad. You need to live in an area with lots of law libraries (law schools, county libraries, jail/prison, etc.).

Hi!
My MLIS has been half online and half in-person. I finish in Spring 2019. It does not really matter to employers. If it's ALA-accredited and you do well, that is all that really counts. Online is pretty much the same in terms of internships. You just do one locally. My experience is somewhat different since my degree is an MLIS but also for Archiving. So it's taking four years instead of 3 (I go to Simmons). As I am almost done with my degree, if you have any questions, let me know. I'm more than willing to answer them.
Good luck!

Hi!
I am finishing my MLIS and then getting the JD so the opposite of you. From what I understand, it doesn't really matter where you get your MLIS. So I would choose which school you like best and can afford. I will be getting my MLIS from Simmons with a concentration in Archiving in Spring 2019. If you have other questions, let me know. I might have to poke you about JD degrees!
Good luck!

Thank you so much for the insight! That is incredibly helpful. I will take it all into consideration as I move forward.
