A higher LSAT.
Just do whichever seems more appealing to you.

Re: College newspaper Editor-in-Chief, Paralegal, or both?
Which one creates contacts with people that might have some say eventually in hiring you? Oh. Not EIC? Then I guess the question's easily answered.

Both if you can, EIC if not. EIC can stay on your resume for the rest of your life and looks impressive. Paralegal is just a job - especially if you move on to better jobs.

Re: College newspaper Editor-in-Chief, Paralegal, or both?
I'm sorry...that's the wrong answer. If you're putting college shit on your resume "for the rest of your life," you've got bigger problems than this choice.r6_philly wrote:Both if you can, EIC if not.

makes you sound like a douche.deathviaboredom wrote:I'm retaking the LSAT.\

Doing both is also appealing to me, but I have a history of overloading on courses and half-assing them, squeaking by with just As and A-s, not A+.

Re: College newspaper Editor-in-Chief, Paralegal, or both?
Do what you will, sir...but I've reviewed resumes, and I'd say "co-editor" and "editor" are about equal. Given that fact, make some atty connections.deathviaboredom wrote:So, does this mean no EIC?
The A comment was supposed to be ironic. I do tend to overload and I have good grades but no good LORs as a result.

Ha...no. Forgive my lack of clarity. Choose "co-editor in chief" and take the paralegal job.deathviaboredom wrote:are you suggesting both?

EIC, take the classes you enjoy. Doesn't that just feel more right to you? Are you rearing to go paralegal for a tiny law firm and not get paid?

Re: College newspaper Editor-in-Chief, Paralegal, or both?
Sorry...was of the understanding OP would get paid for reg. (<40 hrs) time and still be able to work a co-editor job. If not, EIC and classes + LSAT prep FTW.creamedcats wrote:EIC, take the classes you enjoy. Doesn't that just feel more right to you?

Re: College newspaper Editor-in-Chief, Paralegal, or both?
If nothing else, having attorney references that you can list during for OCI will be considerably more impressive than [not co-]EIC on your resume. Just IMO.deathviaboredom wrote:No, that's right.MrKappus wrote:Sorry...was of the understanding OP would get paid for reg. (<40 hrs) time and still be able to work a co-editor job.

Re: College newspaper Editor-in-Chief, Paralegal, or both?
Let's compare careers and see if I have any problems - because I don't. College always stays on the resume, just at the bottom. Earlier work gets trimmed. As a matter of fact, people are always interested in asking about what I did in college. You do a job for money, you do stuff in college because you want it, it says more about you and is always a convo starter.MrKappus wrote:I'm sorry...that's the wrong answer.

I don't know who you are, but you don't strike me as being very credible.

Oh, I misread 'no OT bc they don't want to pay' as...'they don't pay'. Well, that's not so bad, then.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
