This is the first thing I tell students that are thinking about law school: make connections in the region where you want to work and do not worry about your grades. Nobody cares about your grades (except for big-time clerkships and top tier hellhole law offices, but you still need connections). I have submitted my transcript—a supposed representation of my technical talent—to one job that I applied for since graduating 10 years ago. Hiring people want to know what other equivalent professionals think of me and that’s it.
