[quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound like you lost a lot of self-confidence going through law school and earning poor grades.   it sounds like you did really well in high school and as an undergraduate, and you were accustomed to scoring well on exams, but then something happened and you were unprepared for getting poor grades.   Looking through the possible timeline, as you mentioned you had "children" I'm guessing that you must have gotten married before/during law school and had kids right away?   if so, wow, so understandable that your life changed and studying became much more difficult.

You seem to have this attitude now that your grades in law school were awful, you aren't worth much as an employee, and when you go on interviews, you feel really embarassed by your lack of good grads, and now by your lack of experience.

You also seem to think that you have to have a plan all figured out.   Why work temp if it isn't leading to anything in the future?   This is probably also a result of your early, goal-oriented upbringing.

DCUM is probably not the best palce for you to work through these issues -- but I really think you need to work through them.   As a few posters have been saying -- if you need to net $500/month minimum, document review plus an inexpensive child care might be the best way to do that.  Even if it doesn't lead to any law career.   Your very high school loans really preclude making a major career change right now.[/quote]
