General Board / Re: I really need advice from people already in law school/graduated. PLEASE.

With regard to entering the political field, I have a story. I have a friend with an econ. degree who is running for political office. She had no initial interest in local politics until she met some politicians during a happy hour. Several months later, I am helping her run her first campaign and she is having lunches with the governor.
I have another friend with a poli.sci degree and interested in pursuing a public administration degree. He is desperately hoping to run for office but simply doesn't have the connections with the right people or perhaps the charisma of friend #1. Meanwhile, he works behind the scenes and is unhappy.
I think if you want to be involved in politics, network! network! network! And although I am not a 1L yet, I believe it is the same in law school when it comes to getting a job.
