[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the section. I wouldn’t go to civil rights or oil right now. I interned in civil rights during the Bush administration and it was career people trying to do their jobs and politicals trying to stop them from doing their jobs. People got demoted by the politicals it was bad.

When you say money is not an issue, are you guys so incredibly wealthy that it doesn’t matter that he could literally make more than triple in the private sector his first year? He could probably get a $100,000 bonus for his clerk ship, at least, and then he would probably start around $300,000 at a big law firm. And possibly get an additional bonus on top of that.

you say you don’t know much about law so I think you should mostly stay out of this decision and let your son make his decisions because I’m sure he knows far far more than you do[/quote]

This is the right take. Depends on the section and most will be totally fine and it would be dumb to turn down. Don't make the decision until the last minute if possible. He will really kick himself for bailing if it turns out he would have been totally fine and missed out on what is otherwise a fantastic career starter. It's so hard to get the same experience and exposure at a firm. Almost impossible.[/quote]
