[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't you try to get a paralegal position in an employment law practice group. Your experience is relevant and you will get a taste of the more "legal" side of what you already do. [/quote]

OP here. Ideally, I would aim at getting a job at one of the national employment firms -- Jackson Lewis, Seyfarth Shaw, Littler Mendolsohn are some of the ones I am aware of. I think my work experience is relevant and should outweigh any issues with the rank of my school or how I do in law school. I just have to get an interview.  You have all given me something to think about, though. Even when I get hired at a big firm I may hate it and it doesn't look like I will get any money from a school to attend so I will owe a lot... #decisionsdecisions[/quote]

Littler has a reputation of aggressively pushing associates out.  Many of them land in good in-house positions, but if your goal is a law firm life, that's probably not a place to make a long-term career.  On the upside, I hear the work is good.[/quote]
