I'm a law student at a Tier 4 Law School in the South. I'm a 2L. The problem I have is that I love history and politics and I like practicing law (from what I've seen). I've done a fellowship for a Congressman from Georgia (on Capitol Hill) and I work for a State Senator now. I love the thought of going to DC and working there after law school...but I don't know about the costs, standard of living, safety, etc...those kind of scare me away. I'm a B student now with a A+ average in my Political Science undergraduate program. Any advice would be wonderful, but so far I haven't found anything. We don't have a career counseling service that will help B students, so any input will be helpful.
Thanks! |

DC is pretty expensive, especially compared to the South. Apartments are really cheap, though, so you can probably live well there. DC is a great town. Only parts of it are unsafe. It's cool because there are people there from all over the country and the world. Lots of energy.
But, hey -- What's the deal with your law school not offering career counseling to B students? That's not right.
