Worried 2L public interest internship will hinder me being hired at a firm after graduation
2L with no summer internship lined up and my professor is connecting me to a public interest opportunity which I'm really grateful for but I know that 2L jobs often serve as a launching pad for employment post-3L and I never imagined being in this position.
I'm obviously going to take the job because something is better than nothing. It's just so frustrating having the door slammed in my face for opportunities I'm genuinely interested in or not hearing back at all or hearing back and being asked my availability to interview and then getting ghosted before even scheduling the interview.
At this point I have no idea what I want to do after graduation because clearly the universe feels that the things I'm interested in I'm not meant for, but I do know I don't want to do public inerest and yet I keep getting pushed in that direction and its frustrating having a resume that's constructed differently from what I actually desire for myself longterm.
This kinda turned into a rant.
tl;dr FUCK this job market. I regret going to law school. This shit is depressing.
