Work and Save $$$ or Get Experience
Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2011 3:29 pm
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this so feel free to move it.
I was talking with a family friend (who happens to be a partner at a small law firm) and when I mentioned to him that I will be attending law school in the fall, he said that he would be happy to offer me a paid internship for 1L summer. He also said that if I wanted to, I could do an unpaid internship for 0L summer (this year).
The question is: does the benefit of having 2 summers of experience in OCI outweigh the money I would earn and save by not doing the internship this summer and working at my job(about 15K)? Or would the one year of the internship be enough experience for OCI?
