In the past 4 years I have done everything from graphic design, web mastering , was a veterinary technician for 3 years while doing graphic work. Also was a personal assistant for 8 months. I have an associate degree in art as well as an EMT certification. I graduate in May 06 with a BA in History with a minor in Philosophy and start Law school in the fall of 06. Now the problem I have is that while still taking classes, no and I repeat no decent paying graphic position will hire, I have scanned Houston Texas repeatedly. Freelancing did not work out for me. Vet techs make 8$ an hour which is not worth it.
I would like to apply as a secretary or clerk position at a law firm.
My question is how do I take all of this knowledge and apply it or direct it into a focused position ?
I realize that I seam very broad however I intend on studying medical/civil law as well as doing some charity work for animal rights.
So all of this comes together.
The only job that I have come across that works with my hectic class schedule is being a waitress , and I don??t have what it takes to do that anymore since I am getting older, and feel that I should apply myself. * last waitress job I applied for the manager said that he couldn??t hire me because I was more qualified for his job than he was!
Help, anyone with any ideas I am open for suggestions
Thanks in advance

...congratulate yourself.
there is nothing wrong with the path you've taken, and the very last job you want to apply for is waiting tables.
prepare to FOCUS ... if law is what you want to pursue, step over to the message board on Vault for legal professionals and post some questions. I have no interest in the law, aside from abiding
by it, and even I took a look around. Very helpful, knowledgable people.
By the time I reached my mid-twenties I worked in and studied for a variety of fields. You're young. Your brain will never be this maleable again, enjoy it. That said, all your efforts need to be directed toward an end-point. Regardless of how sporadic they may seem, things come together in the end.
Good Luck.
