Someone got some good résumé advice here... well, this is what I need - sort of.
I am in the middle of law school. I have become convinced that I do not want to be a lawyer. I can leave without drowning in debt. I have a little bit of time to decide whether I will keep on this semester and do my summer stint at a firm or whether I take a leave of absence and most likely be done with law school forever.
I could stay on this semester and do my summer stint at the firm and know for absolutely sure whether law was right for me, but then it "would just be one more year", followed by "might as well practice for a little while" etc.
I fear the following scenario:
1.5 years of law School on my résumé w/ good grades
or
2 years of law school on my résumé w/ hopefully still decent grades after this semester.
JD + more debt, opportunity cost, etc. (Why didn't you practice law?)
or
A lot of time missing from my résumé.
I am screwed. Who would want to hire someone like me? But what looks worse?
