What did you do in between Undergrad and Law school?
Just curious what people did. I am a finance major but the job search is tough and I am not ready to go to law school yet by any means. What did you do?

Re: What did you do in between Undergrad and Law school?
starting law school in august. I'm currently working two jobs...one full-time as an assistant manager for a retail store and the other as a part-time key holder for another retail store. I can't even begin to tell you how much I hate my job. My undergrad is in journalism and there was zilch when I graduated, but I was determined to work for a year or so after graduating. So here I am.

I worked as a welder/assembler in the indistrial filtration business up until a few months ago. Now I work in Engineering Records. It has all been basically bitch work, but atleast I make a decent living (mid to high 30s).

Re: What did you do in between Undergrad and Law school?
I majored in finance and am in attempt of finding a job... not going so well right now lol. Trying to find a 9 to 5 job that pays decent money. I plan on attending law school eventually in LA and I am moving out there this summer so these years off will at least let me enjoy California (beaches, mountains, dodger baseball, ect.) Wanted to do teach for america but that was all booked up by the time I got to it lol. What are some other suggestions? I was also interested in the JAG program but I don't see anything I can do to get me closer to that. Anyone know of any finance related jobs in the LA area?????

Re: What did you do in between Undergrad and Law school?
I started a property management company for banks and investors. I graduated in three years (although with a bad GPA 2.53) and have had some success. I havent heard back from most of the schools I applied to yet, so I dont know if it helps or not but with a 156 GPA it at least offsets it a little bit for the schools Im applying to.

Worked for 5 years in public accounting. FWIW, I don't really think that it added any benefit in terms of getting into law school, but I don't think that I would have had many of my 1L summer job offers without it.
