I'm actually not even really sure I want to be a lawyer. I've really not liked law school. Any ideas as to what I can do? I've thought myself a public servant, rather than someone with a "job," and I want to settle down in California, for family reasons.
I've already applied for Presidential Management Fellowship (didn't do that well on the in-person assessment; one of the reasons I don't want to be a lawyer is that I hate public speaking), State Department (rocked the FSOT, but that's just the tip of the iceberg), and another government agency. Waiting to apply for FBI because I tried pot twice before starting law school, and FBI has a 3-year window for any drug use. I apply regularly to federal jobs that look interesting on USAJOBS. I'd apply for California state jobs, but there aren't any.
As a last resort, I'll consider teaching or police work, but I'd feel terrible that I've invested so much in legal education to do something that I didn't need to go to grad school for.
Please no speeches about how I pissed away a great opportunity. I'm pretty aware of that. I could have maintained a 3.0 with a lot more work, but I'm really just sort of not smart enough for a t10 school. For what it's worth, I've busted my @$$ consistently since the age of 16; I just hit the wall with law school
