If I intend to go to graduate school, is it better to go straight into it after undergrad or take a two-year gap to work?

I'm thinking about becoming a lawyer but don't want to be in debt after eight years of straight school. Would a two-year working gap set me back?

Scott’s Answer

Hello! If you're considering a career as a lawyer but aren't entirely certain, gaining experience at a law firm can be an excellent step. Working there offers a firsthand look into the legal world before you decide to attend law school. After college, I spent two years as an entry-level paralegal at a large law firm, and it was a fantastic experience. I learned a lot about the daily work of lawyers and even saved some money for school. You might discover that law isn't your path, and that's completely okay too!

April’s Answer

I don't know much about a law degree because I'm an engineer. But when I finished my engineering degree, I joined a company that paid for my Master's degree.

Maybe you can do something similar. Look for a company that will pay for your law degree while you work.
