Unless you have like a 4.3 CAS GPA and crazy softs (softs are the non-quantifiable elements in your application that set you apart from others with similar stats)

So I did dual enrollment and summer classes for my paralegal cert (that I haven’t finished) and not ACTUALLY started college. I barely graduated hs last year actually! But I wanted to originally work gov because I did get sexually assaulted as a child and recently had trial 3 weeks ago (after the case became a 3-4 year ordeal) and he was actually acquitted of all charges UNFORTUNATELY but that kinda inspired me when I was younger

And I do know im going to get paid peanuts as some may put it so if im in debt maybe ill do whatever, and i do know corporate is a stretch but i have been working since i was 14 so i feel like id be able to handle the workload of that… and just do pro bono cases if i dont want to be “poor” for long

GratefulSpecialSloth

And thank you! It definitely hasn’t been easy and I have been trying to be more vocal about that recently especially on social media and getting my story out

I'm sorry that happened to you! Definitely agree with the above, you definitely deserve a break. Hopefully you can find something that pays bills and gives you some peace and enjoyment, then jump into law school grounded and rested. (Sorry for the slow reply, hope you see it)
