Do I leave my random job for slightly less money as a site contract intern? it would just be for a year and don't know how much relevant experience I would be getting towards law

llama

@steelrift99: Others have repeatedly stated: unique / customer service WE >>> Legal WE,not sure if true/how true. I think in the end the impact of either alternative is nearly identical, long term

While the site contract job is more legal related, neither significantly contribute to legal work experience. Sit contract job is for a half year while my current job pays more and I can stay however long
