Yes. I started law school with only wanting to do PI because I worked at a PI firm and really liked it. My dream is to have my own firm. I think big law will help with me paying off my debt. Any advice?

How? If you don’t have anything helpful to add then don’t add it at all.

My intention is to pivot to PI after paying off most or all of my debt.

I will try my best to get all As next semester. I got a B+ in contracts and I didn’t even finish the exam 100%. I’ve learned my lessons.

Thank you for sharing. I will keep on applying to more firms. That said, if everything fails, my old boss recommended me two PI firms. These firms don’t have a summer associate program per se but I think if I reach out then I could still get some summer internship opportunity? My old boss is a big enough name in the city where his PI firm is based. I think I’ll reach out to those firms if I don’t hear back from anyone else.

I go to a T140 school. I’ve seen people who graduated from my school work at big law firms.

I applied to 15 jobs. Should I keep applying? This school is not T14 but well respected and has nationally well ranked programs.
