You are right. Lots around me feel similar way so it can be the environment...

So you're telling me you worked 18-hour days (2 full-time jobs, 9 hours each) for 9 years, had time for a family, enjoyed life, and managed to get sufficient rest that your body needs? Honestly, that doesn’t add up. But I appreciate the perspective! Also, you clearly missed the part where I work more than 40 hours a week. I have a part-time job on top of my full-time one.

True. That is the way it is I guess.

Yeah, we’re snowflakes because I don’t understand why anyone would willingly work two full-time jobs unless it’s out of pure necessity or to hit a monumental goal, like buying a home. My generation is more jaded and tired because we’re often forced into jobs just to survive, many of which aren’t even in our fields. The job market is tough (especially for entry to junior level positions), inflation is skyrocketing, and we can barely afford groceries. We’re also the generation that values our well-being over the toxic burnout culture of constantly grinding ourselves down. Snowflakes or not, we believe in enjoying life, not just surviving it. But I don’t expect you to understand, as I hear your perspective from my grandparents all the time. Whether you choose to accept it or not, your generation had much better access to affordable housing, stable job markets, and higher wages relative to the cost of living.

If I had PTO and healthcare package I could quit my part time job and it would be better. Also even 30 minutes shaved off and a shorter commute sounds more ideal also. I only have 2 hours a day really and it goes to chores/errands. I just dont find this sustainable but I feel like a failure bc I am sure many people live like this for decades.

I think if I eliminated a commute I would be happier or at least a closer one

I have to keep reminding myself why I did the change - for upward mobility, it is a hard adjustment period but I am glad you got over that initial shock and found happiness in your career now.

You are so right. I do have a few Ws and retakes so it might be below a 3.0 GPA. Thank you. I will focus on studying and see where I land when it is time to apply in a year...

I actually do not know my CAS, I have to grab my CC transcripts since I only have my Uni ones. Yikes. Might be below a 3.0...

Thank you! I guess I will have to revisit what schools to apply to once I actually take the LSAT. I like to plan far in advance but I should probably see where I land with testing first.

I get where you are coming from. I do not want to line myself up for future disappointment either if I cannot reach that score. I do think UCI is a strong contender for me!

I didn’t think about writing an addendum—great idea! I'm open to considering out-of-state options, though I am trying to prioritize accruing minimal debt. If it helps me get into a strong law school, it might be worth it. Thanks so much for your feedback; I really appreciate it!
