I got an offer to work for a public interest organization in Chicago.
Pros:
+ Chicago
+ Interesting work
+ They want me
+ Good resume builder
Cons:
- Unpaid
- Entire Summer
- Not exactly what I want to do in the future
- Need decision ASAP (Tomorrow)
I'm stressed out because although I finally got an offer, I have a callback interview tomorrow and another interview with a law firm. Both of these options are paid. Neither of them are in Chicago. I also have another firm in Chicago that I'm working on getting a job at, and I'm not sure if it will be paid or not. I have also applied to work in the legal department of a big company in Chicago, which would be paid, and something that I'm a lot more interested in.
My other jobs
BYU Gen Counsel
Pros:
+ Interesting Work
+ Paid
Cons:
- Provo
- Entire Summer
Sacramento Firm
Pros:
+ More like the work I want to do
+ Paid
+ Not Utah
Cons:
- Gamble to wait and see if I get it
- Not Chicago/NY/DC
I thought that I would be so excited when I finally got an offer that it would be a no-brainer. That is definitely not the case. What am I going to do?!
As for the drama, there is some serious drama going on in the law school right now with elections for SBA President (like student body president). Somebody is going to get a smack-down tomorrow. I think the whole thing is pretty ridiculous. It is a big deal, but I think it has been blown way out of proportion...

What did you decide?
I think that your professional goals are important to you. So, you should heavily weight doing work that is important to you over where it is. Second, weigh were you want to be.
I too have to make some important choices.
