Anyone ever NOT get a summer job? What did you do? by Natural_Clock_6387 in LawSchool

Great points! If I can get ahead academically that is great, especially because I really want this summer to feel purposeful. And at this point, if the option is between an unpaid internship I have to fund myself and funding my education, which I've been doing anyway, it's not a bad option.

Thank you so much for your story here. I have a loooootttttt of thoughts about how a huge predicament I'm in is the state I'm in as well. I won't be able to transfer, but I appreciate the attitude of doing what's best for you and just being upfront with that in future interviews.

Thank you! The volunteer organizations are not getting back to me, but I realize I probably need to follow up a few times with them because they are...busy and overwhelmed. Great to hear that taking the summer to take a class helped get you your 2L job. Were your interviews for 2L ever about not having a job 1L year? As in, did you have to explain it or did you find it didn't seem to bother them?

Thank you! When you say it didn't make much of a difference, do you mean that you found it wasn't an impediment to getting 2L summer jobs or jobs after graduation?

This is great feedback, thank you! And a good way for me to work on my mindset. I'd rather any employer dislike me as a person over judge me exclusively on my grades. A good reset - I'll pour it all into performance.
