[quote=Anonymous]OP-not sure which campaign you are on, but if it's interesting and has potential, ride it out. It's a great way to get your foot into policy making if it works out. Even if your candidate  doesn't win, as long as you aren't working for a crazy campaign, the experience will help later. HRC will hire O'Malley staffers later :)

It appears you have a history of depression and are second guessing yourself because you don't have family role models. Get a team of in person mentors, quick.

Ignore the jerks on DCUM who say you don't deserve to get in. They wish they could crack 175 on the LSAT. Do listen to the advice about being skeptical of law school. Gone are the ages where you go into law because you don't know what you want to do with your life. Go into it because you want to be a lawyer. Otherwise, focus on doing well on the campaign  staff and making connections with the higher ups. Those folks are supposed to help you get a job once the campaign is over.

Ps- of course life (and pay) sucks when on a campaign, but hopefully you believe in the cause. [/quote]
