And the way the opportunity came to me was a blessing. Long story short I was interviewing for a position at another film company and his wife (the interviewer) gave HIM my info. b/c she felt I would learn more from him. When I got that call I was like "wow", mouth just open. Anyway, he told me that in order for him to really mentor me, even allow me to be apart of the deals he makes with BIG people in Hollywood that some celebs don't even get one on one contact with, he would ask that I make a two year commitment. He also told me that he usually hires his mentees (is that a word) after they come out of law school! And these are the people that come at, first year counsel level making six figures, which is where I'm trying to be! 
But I really wanted to hear from someone's real life experience and yours was so appropos! I can do all things....
So I'm going to go ahead apply to those part time programs as well as full time and see what happens!
Thanks SO MUCH to EVERYONE that replied. It was all food for thought |
I'm glad I could help. And you are in a good position. The best way to get ahead is NETWORKING. You are doing just that by getting your foot in the door at that firm. I would do the same thing if I were in your shoes. If you want to be an entertainment attorney, then you definitely should work for one. That way WHEN you finish law school and PASS the bar, you will always have the experience under your belt.
You will do well. Blessings to you.
