I have an interview later this week (a group interview - oh joy). The job was advertised as an "attorney" position, but the email confirmation re-titled it a "case specialist." Not quite sure what to make of that. Maybe you get a promotion after a certain period of time?
The interview was set up before I received my bar results. I was unsure whether or not to tell the company ahead of time. I consulted with the career counselor from my law school, and she advised me not to say anything. But it's a potential strike against me.
The job is about 15 miles away and stretches over a high-traffic area. I don't know how much it pays; if I had to guess, I would say between 40-45k. It would be full-time, and it's not an area I'm interested in. And technically I should be studying for the bar full-time come mid-December. I suppose what I really need is a part-time law clerk position. But I feel like I should still go to the interview. It'll be an experience, if nothing else.
Has anyone else out there tried to work full-time and study for the bar... and passed?

My SIL studied for the bar while she nannied full-time. She worked daily from 7AM-4PM caring for our newborn son. She ended up passing the bar in two states, so I'm sure it can be done. She also took the bar exam in February.
I don't mean this to sound disrespectful at all, but do you really want to be a lawyer? All of your posts about the topic seem really negative, and you don't seem at all excited about getting a job.
Am I reading you wrong?
@TeacHer: I'm not excited about getting a shitty job. There aren't many jobs out there, and the ones that have been calling me back are, unfortunately, just that. I made over 55k as a legal secretary. The thought that I would make less as a lawyer makes me physically ill.
