I have been working at a pretty good engineering firm part time during the school year, and full time during the summers for the past three years. I've been able to work up from a lowly intern to a design engineer under a VP for the engineering. He and i have struck up a pretty good friendship, going out to lunch, going over to each others places for dinner with the wife/fiance. I was wondering if it would be beneficial to get a letter of recommendation to hold on to that I could include when applying for legal positions. Ditto for professor recommendations
Thanks for taking the time to answer

I don't think it will matter. Grades matter. But no employer I've yet seen has asked for letters of rec.

I have had a couple firms ask for lists of 3-5 references, so definitely use him then. But no letter of rec.

Can you work there after college? Why on earth are you wanting law school?

They are keeping me on as a consultant in law school. I don't really like engineering, but worst case scenario, I will not have an employment gap and I will have a job to come back to.MrAnon wrote:Can you work there after college? Why on earth are you wanting law school?
