does anyone else wish we had a highlighting function for these skill builders? crying #feedback
I work at an Amazon delivery warehouse, one of the hardest jobs I have ever had to do in my life, while also balancing undergrad full time, so I am ready to take on the next challenge of my life: law school and the LSAT.
Please add a highlighting function #feedback sobbing internally
and sometimes all it takes is to work a job you know will have nothing to do with the legal field but if it can pay for law school then what is the worry?
another case can be made for judges and DAs actually as well. There is a lot of talk that they should be required to work in a prison before they send defendants off to a correctional institution. But no where in the job description is this a requirement but an elected position.
HAHAHA I love this. :smile: Thanks! I think I needed someone to let me see it this way
I can not just up and quit my full-time job either to pursue a paralegal job, because I need one that will support me as much as my current one does with salary and benefits. I just learn a lot of skills that are surprisingly transferable I believe to the legal world.
Well I am not technically K-JD....I have a previous bachelor's degree before I completed my second one in criminal justice, because I realized I did not want to pursue my first and got into it for the wrong reasons, so i got a full-time job for a year to re-discover what I want to do and during this time is when I decided to get a different bachelor's. During my second degree I took criminal law (when i decided I want to go to law school), underwent a semester internship in criminal justice (where I learned how to network, talked to law enforcement investigators, and attorneys/paralegals), took legal writing class, joined an honor society for my degree, completed a Court Watch program all while working full-time. I am still currently working full-time in my non-legal job and studying for the LSAT, but my current job has taught me a lot of the value of hard work, working on multiple projects, working with a team to achieve a goal at the end of the day, problem solving, discipline, having a backbone, speaking up, building confidence, and justice. So I know the value of working and ready to take those previous skills mentioned to law school and beyond.
P.S. No one can say I never tried either because after graduating with my criminal justice degree in the summer I did try and look for paralegal/legal assistant jobs, but I never heard back, I was currently making more at my current job, and I also got tricked into a job that was less substantial than what they had on their job posting online.
sorry ignore the repeat comment my 7Sage was being weird, but from all that I was just trying to say that others can find the love of hard work and sense of justice through other means than by just working as a paralegal or some other legal assistant job.
I have had an attorney before tell me to stay at my non-legal full-time job before law school because I might not have the same flexibility once I enter one and also probability wise out of all the people who are in a certain section in law school, how many of them have actually done this? People can still find to love the law for other reasons than by just working in the field before.

sounds great! is there any drawback to someone who does not do this? It is not necessarily scientifically proven that working as one before law school will guarantee success for the person.
Is working as a paralegal before law school guaranteed to provide more satisfaction with the law school experience than someone who just goes in without having worked in a law firm or any type of legal work? can someone break down any misconceptions about this or speak on if working first in the field is smarter than someone who does not?
#advice
I need some help deciding the best course of action to take.
After graduating with my B.S. this May in Criminal Justice, I wanted to try and work in my field or as a legal assistant/paralegal, but after struggling to secure a job this summer I am still at my current job I kept during undergrad. My question to my fellow pre-law people and LSATers is this: should I stay at my current job and study for the LSAT and prepare for law school, because I know the process is intense, and I should be dedicating all my time to studying and getting ready for law school, and by getting a new job it would set me back due to all the training I would have to learn and getting adjusted to a new schedule, or go ahead and try to find a job in the legal field to learn skills that I can take to law school and as a future attorney and save money for law school? But I also feel like it would just be a lot to take on on top of studying for the LSAT.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! as I am in some desperate need to have some guidance and putting my foot in the right direction.
Some arguments are stronger than others because some arguments just lack valid points, enough information, or have poor logic. The Disney argument was filled with plenty of information but followed proper logic, the next one (Tigers), does not have as much information but still follows logically, and then the final one- Trash bin just jumps to an immediate conclusion without considering all the possible options.
is anyone else very very confused? and why in the video is his chain the contrapostive of the text answer and the video's contrapositive is the first chained conditional in the text answer?

Anyone who goes to an ivy league college is a snob. Lucy goes to Harvard, therefore she must be a snob.

Janet lets her son buy a book at the bookstore when he completes a puzzle. If he can complete a 50-piece puzzle in under an hour then she lets him buy 2 books. Today's shopping trip he was allowed to purchase 2 books. Therefore, he must have completed a 50-piece puzzle in under an hour.
The Trash Bin: (causation logic):
During some downtime at work I called to make some reservations at a local restaurant for me and my boyfriend's date tonight. We planned this evening because both of us are free. As soon as I am getting off work and walking to my car, my boyfriend calls to cancel and says something has popped up. My boyfriend must be cheating on me.
