I got an RA gig from a professor but I don't like him, plus the shitlaw gig is with an old friend and pays $20/hr. Assuming I want biglaw next fall, is this gonna fuck me or does it really not matter?

No but he works there, and said I could tag along for the summer so I have something to put in my resume.

I would say that having any job at all 1L summer means you're slightly less fucked than average.

Yeah, it's pretty unreal out there, right now. I know very few with an actual firm job. I know many more who are doing some gov/PI type thing this summer, though. Quite a few don't have anything, still. At CCN, and I would estimate it is like 60-40%, 60% being people who have stuff. I think some people are just being picky, though.

I am talking about jobs generally, firm jobs included. I was just thinking of people trying to get anything. And, yes, quite a few people come to my CCN expecting some summer 1L gig. Some have gotten these. There are still some firms that recruit 1Ls here, along with a few other of the 'top' schools. They just don't advertise these programs for other law schools.

No one really cares what you did 1L summer. The only thing you need is something to be able to talk about in interviews--just do a bit of research/writing while you're there and you're golden.

The only exception is if you want to clerk at some point down the road--then RA'ing for the prof might come in handy, particularly if he/she is fairly well known.

My friend at Cooley just got a 1L SA position at one of the big 3 MI firms, and he I shit you not said he was going to ask if they could work his schedule around 6 credits so he could get financial aid over the summer. I set him straight with a string of expletives that would make most posters here blush. No joke.

what does that pay? $1500/wk? do they have 1Ls on a lower salary?

No idea, but I know he's the only 1L to pick up a (an?) SA there, so I'm assuming it's the same pay grade.
