I am struggling to finish law school not for academic reasons but because life has been unkind and problems in my life (being robbed twice, having my house burglarized twice (even though I am a control freak and did everything right safety-wise in all the aforementioned instances), having my computer crash and all my final papers and class notes deleted 2 weeks before exams and then catching a rare virus that required hospitalization during reading week two weeks later, breaking my ankle due to a slip days before write-on and moot court tryouts). I was actually a decent student and even got the highest grades in some of my classes and went to an ivy league for undergrad--I liked law school and the law generally but all these shitty events caused me to slip into a major depression law school and caused me to get a lot of Fs and bring my GPA from a respectable 3.4 to a 2.4. I want to go back and finish but am on medical leave and in a trial and error process to find the right antidepressant (am on my 6th one which doesn't work). I need to find a job and support myself until I am able to return to school to complete my degree and sit for the bar but I have been on a handful of interviews and am too underqualified to do anything substantial in the legal profession-- I would happily settle to be a paralegal but most positions don't wnat any law students, I am too poor to do an unpaid internship, and I feel I am not taken seriously for other jobs becuase I am either underqualifed without a law degree or overqualified and not taken seriously. Is there anything I can do. I desperately need a job to eat
