A friend of my dad's just basically offered me a (paid) part-time job during 1L. He's a solo practitioner in Boston and he's mostly doing it as a favor to my dad. However, I want to put as much time into my schoolwork as possible (at least during 1L), and I know I'm not going to have enough time without a part-time job.
I'm supposed to meet with him next week sometime to talk about it. I'm trying to think of some way to convince him to give me a job for the summer after 1L, rather than during 1L. The problem is that I should not be the one telling him when I want to work, since he is doing a favor for me/my dad. Since he's a solo practitioner, it makes sense that he would want me to work for the whole year, not just the summer. What should I do?
(I think I'll post this on the Pre-Law side as well.)
