Is LLM in international law/maritime law good for job prospects?

[colfre]

I want to do my LLM in the subject of International public/private law and maritime(sea) law. my aim is to become a lecturer in this field. how good are the job prospects? how about any other jobs in this field other than lecturing?

I think having an LLM in a subject you want lecture in would be excellent for job prospects. However I'm not sure about the job prospects in other fields, as the LLM is usually taken by academics, rather than lawyers who wanting to practice in this field. But with all the law students that universities are churning out I think having more qualifications can only be a good thing.
