[quote=Anonymous]I worked in a law school career services office and if it was my decision I wouldn't even admit students who hasn't worked for at least two years.  The ones who'd worked, even in crappy minimum wage types jobs, were so much more mature and prepared and realistic.  The struggle of making it on their own really forced them to grow up.  They were focused and also better equipped to deal with adversity.

There were some who came straight through from undergrad who performed well academically, but they would confess to me that they felt a lot of uncertainty and discomfort with their choices.  Grad school is a big commitment of time and money, and one that is best undertaken thoughtfully and with a clear goal in mind.

Finally, I can say that as a liberal arts college grad myself, I can say that most of my classmates bounced around a bit early on, but they all found their paths.  Many of them have been extraordinarily successful. None of them have starved in the streets. [/quote]
