Thank you so much for the advice! :) I ended up including 2 of the non-legal jobs I had while in college (one of them since I was 16). Looking at them, they make a point (work ethic, non-trad) and are consisting with the personal statement. Thanks again!! :)

I'm a non-traditional student and worked FT since age 16 to support myself. Ended up getting a GED in my early 20s, going to community college, and transferring to a top 3 private university. I have been working with nonprofit legal services providers for the last 4+ years. Still, I had 5 jobs before graduating and all of them were in restaurants. I would like to include at least some of these in the resume, but not all.

I'm just having difficulties deciding how far back I need to go for pre-graduation jobs. Do I start with the job I had when I started community college? Or should I just include all 5 of them?

I would really appreciate some advice. Thank you!
