LOR advice -- fine arts undergrad Forum

[longpig]

Would be interested in hearing people's advice on my letter of recommendation situation. I'm two years out of undergrad so just on the cusp of being considered "out for a while" I guess. I'm going to ask my thesis professor for one, however I was a Film/Animation major so it's not like my classes were super academic or writing/reading focused. Still, I think he knows me well and can at least speak to my work ethic.

My question is for the other letter - should I ask my other thesis professor to write it, or my current employer (I work in a non profit doing college/career advising for low-income kids)? I know it's better to have 2 academic recommendations, but since my undergrad was not that "academic" anyway, should I just go with a work related one?

I kinda feel like my LOR's are gonna be a wash in my application either way but curious on your thoughts.

I'd get all three.

Thanks rigo. Anyone else?

Also curious if anyone else had a super irrelevant UG major like fine arts.

A ton of people do. Nothing is really relevant to law anyways. A plurality of people were probably political science majors but that won't help them.

It makes you slightly more interesting. Definitely won't hurt you.

If all 3 will be strong, then go for it. Also, basically what Rigo said, your major is irrelevant for law. Some majors may help since there's a lot of reading/writing (English for example) but then again, you do a ton of that throughout college anyways.
