[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]

Op, you don't know what you are talking about it.

The legal hiring world is extremely snobby. The care about a) your law school and b) your law school Gpa. You are not going to get into a good law school with those numbers. You simply aren't. The LSAT is a good indicator of law school grades, so you can know that you are not going to be in the top five percent of your law school class. The firms you list will not hire you. Period.[/quote]
