[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 4051563, member: 14159"] I know [i]exactly[/i] what I want to do: go to law school and be an attorney, and judging from the high grades I got in my pre-law classes, the high LSAT score I got, and my experience working at a prosecutors office I believe I would be good at this job and enjoy it. Until then ideally I'd like to work as a legal secretary since I've received a lot of advice from attorneys that the best thing you can do to be a good lawyer is to work in a law office for a while first to learn the practical side of the practice of law they don't teach in law school. However. . .after more than six months of applying for dozens of jobs in that line of work, getting only two interviews, and two irate callbacks from temp agencies from applications saying "you're wasting our time applying for these jobs", and finding that almost all jobs in that field require prior experience and there are very, very few job postings in that line of work that don't require at least two years of experience, I'm quite willing to broaden my scope of the types of jobs I'm willing to work until I can get that kind of job. I know I can work basic IT jobs, I know I was good at working in a library and wouldn't mind doing that again at all, and if I have to I'll work retail, but even those jobs seem to be hard to get. I just want a job, a simple fracking job at least to pay the bills until then. I'm tired of panicking over bills and having to have my parents and fiancee help me financially. Ideally I'd like a Legal Secretary job, but I know there is a wide variety of jobs I could work at to pay the bills until then. That's the "lack of focus", it's more of a desperation to get any job I can since being focused has been getting me nowhere but broke and frustrated. [/QUOTE]
