How Did You Get Your Start?

For a long time I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. At UVA I thought about government, politics, and law. I liked political theory, so I started looking into law oriented careers.

I had a friend who knew a paralegal in New York who really liked it, so I started looking on Handshake and LinkedIn, applying to any legal jobs I could find.

The law firm Sullivan & Cromwell came to grounds for in person interviews in February and March. I really connected with the people there, and got a job in April. It’s a 2 year paralegal program, where we can opt to stay longer if we want.

I like the idea of law school, but I also want to do something in the interim to save up some money and decide if it’s really a good fit for me.
