Assume very good grades from HYPS undergrad but in a non-STEM major (and not Econ). Rising senior. I know the answer is "don't go to law school," but assume I've thought this through extensively and do eventually want to go. (So I won't be trying to get a long-term gig at one of these places, have no interest in b school, etc.) Those who went to law school - which of these jobs would you most enjoy doing before law school?

-Teach For America

-MBB consulting

-Fulbright Scholar

-Non-tech work at Google/Facebook/Apple (e.g., biz dev or legal assistant work)

-Fed gov't low-level work, or working on the Hill

-Research assistant at a think tank

Fuck, is this really the credited choice? I really don't like the idea of going straight through without trying some different things out or having a real fucking job.

Labor camp. If you want to do BigLaw, this will allow you to at least say, "Well, it wasn't as bad as working in Pyongyang"

Anything where you're exposed to very detailed analysis and writing. And grinding. Working on the Hill might be good. Just depends what you're doing.

20s are overrated. I think 30 has been king. I've pounded more good-looking pussy this year than I did from 20-25. 30 year old bitches know they're old, so they don't play games, and 20 year old bitches figure you won't play their games. My date to fuck ratio is damn near 1:1.

tl;dr -> have free time and no significant other when you're 30.

Get into a field/job you have an interest in. If you like the job, don't go to law school. Forget about preparing for law school.

Greetings,

Reminder: Julian Castro was elected at 35yo to be mayor of the seventh largest city in the country

He attended Stanford for UG, was a polisci shithead, worked on the Hill, went to HLS, moved to SA, did BIGLAW for a couple years while SIMULTANEOUSLY sitting on the City Council, then got elected mayor on his second try

He will likely be elected POTUS before 50yo

Hustle the fuck up, slowpoke.

u recommend being a congressman's bitch & filing papers at a think tank > mbb AND then u say don't go to ls? lol. mbb sets him up for life. if he doesn't like mbb after 3-4 years he can go to HYS for ls, M7 for mba, or a six-figure f500 job. mbb is objectively the best on the list, regardless of whether or not this dude goes to ls

nah, summer recruiting is even more competitive than full-time recruiting. mbb recruits seniors for full-time offers in the fall of senior year. less than half of mbb classes are from summers iirc

The same one that you would do if you were never going to go to law school.

I.e., if you were going to do something else with your career, what would it be, do that so you have a plan B.

Guy I went to high school with was HYP with no Latin honors, did TFA and is now at HLS. People seem to really respect that shit for some reason.

But I've also heard that TFA is pretty competitive. Know a girl who was also HYP, STEM with a ~3.5 GPA, and got dinged.

TFA reps swoon over bullshit leadership positions. Naturally, TFA discriminates in favor of AAs and Hispanics, which makes sense, given TFA's target demographics.
