Champagne Problems: AmeriCorps or Law School?
I just learned I was accepted in the AmeriCorps! I have always wanted to do some sort of community service program and I am happy this one worked out!! The program I was accepted into is in forestry & is only a year long.
However, I have already submitted all of my applications… Aside from burning a few hundred dollars on application fees (😵💫😵💫), could it negatively impact me if I chose to pursue the AmeriCorps this fall and then reapply when I am finished? I am nervous that it will read as a lack of legal ambition & i would have to quit my job at a law firm to serve. I would wait until after law school, but the program I prefer has an age maximum.
Any insight would be appreciated!!
