I will be graduating in May(undergrad) and I am not sure whether taking a part-time job or a full-time job is better after graduation. Most paralegal positions are full-time. I will likely to get a more rounded experience in law if I take the position, but does it matter if I choose a part time job that is not relevant to law? I want more time to study the LSAT. I am not sure if a random, unrelated job will hurt my application in the future. Please help! Thank you!

Do you have to have a LOR from employers when applying for law schools?
Not necessarily. It is recommended that you have recommendation letters from professors.
I am requesting LOR from my employer because I have been in the workforce for quite some time.
Hi All,
I know this is a very common discussion, but my employer asked me to write a draft of (my) recommendation letter. He commented that he would add a nice touch to the draft after. While I am positive that he would write me a positive letter (I worked for this employer right after I graduated college and we knew each other for almost three years), I am not sure where to start.
Where would I find good letter of recommendation samples? And what do admission officers look for when they review recommendation letters from employers?
Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
I plan to apply for law school next year or the year after. If my school uploads my final undergraduate transcript now, will it be okay to leave it until I apply?
I also have not paid for CAS yet. Can I upload the transcript(and recommendations) before I pay? Will it remain in the system for the next two years? Thanks.
Hello!
I will be graduating next semester in spring 2019, but I plan to take a year off to really focus on LSAT while working a part time job. Is it okay if I ask professors to write me recommendations for the cycle of 2020? (I will be asking in spring semester 2019 before I graduate)
I am really nervous about this because I do not know who else to ask for recommendation letters when I do apply.
Thank you all! I decided to do part-time instead because my LSAT score right now is really low. I have a lot of studying to do. I am also not sure which specific field I want to get into (although I have two~three on my minds), part-time will definitely give me more time to think this through and study.
