Average job vs. Internships
When applying to law schools how does having a paying job not in the career field like a lifeguard look? Will they understand that I'm doing this over an unpaid internship for financial reasons? Do they even care about relevant law related internships when applying? thanks!

They won't care about any of it as much as they care about your LSAT and GPA. If you've got good stats going for you, it certainly won't matter what you're doing right now.dontrogerthat wrote:When applying to law schools how does having a paying job not in the career field like a lifeguard look?

It matters almost none. Only something really extraordinary on your resume is likely to make any difference at all.

This. Something really impressive on your resume will help (but even then, not enough to outweigh LSAT/GPA) but having an "average job" won't hurt you at all. If you have solid numbers, no one will care that being a lifeguard isn't "prestigious" enough.blsingindisguise wrote:It matters almost none.

Most people need money. Most people realize this. Get your LSAT/GPA in good order and you'll be ok.
