Talk to the career services office in your school - they may have some job listings for the area, and would be able to tell you how to best apply.  Search listings on NALP and send out some resumes.  Are you planning on sitting for the bar this summer?  Whether you do or not will limit or expand your job search.  Talk over your plans with career services both at your current school, and Georgetown.  They may have some externship opportunities they can suggest as well.

yes, just pickup working papers from your school but then again you'd probably make more money working retail or fast food.

Take advantage of this special time in your life. NY is a fantastic place to live and/or work. Get some good guide books to the city and make a list of places that you want to see and visit. Life has interesting ways of working and you never know what life will bring you next and if you'll have an opportunity to do some of the things you're interested in doing (because of health changes, lifestyle changes or any other changes). Definitely go to the Empire State Building just before sunset and watch the sunset from there. Experience and enjoy the different restaurants. Try to get your hands on a copy of the magazine, "Time Out"- the NY edition. It often lists interesting places to eat, interesting bars/clubs (depending on your age), concerts and different things that are going on. Also, if you are from outside the US , try to make American friends. You will always have the opportunity to interact with people from your country back in your country. Here is an opportunity to get to know people and they way they live elsewhere. Try to visit different neighborhoods in NYC. Sometimes people familiarize themselves with where they work and/or live and do not venture too much to other areas. Try to make it a point when you can to explore new areas. That way, if you really like something you can always go back. Take advantage of the museums, shows, lectures, restaurants, concerts. Also, when are you going to be there? If you are going to be there in the summer try to find out about different concerts going on in Central Park. Overall, have a wonderful time and do what you feel like doing all the time. Have a blast and enjoy!

You can do it if you're prepared and eager about a few things, like studying for hours each day, and living as a student when others your age are in a different world.  Also accept the fact that not all firms will be open-minded when hiring you, even though by law they are allowed to discriminate.  They'll find loopholes.  Also be prepared for rubbing elbows with people younger than you at school, then possibly later at work.  You may have a boss younger than you.  I am sure you have the life maturity to deal with this, and some employers will be smart enough to appreciate that in you.  I went to law school in my late thirties.  I had a bit of trouble finding work.  I had to adjust to the age gap both at school and at work.  But there is nothing like pursuing your real passion.

You would file in both states providing you earned money in both states. It is called a part year resident. You use the W-2s from each state to file, not using your total amount earned.

I did take a course so that I could prepare individual income tax returns, and I learned about the ways I can 'manipulate' the tax system to my benefit without cheating; like planning to attend school in a year that I may not be able to claim a child turning 17 that year, for instance.  I may even get a better credit for being considered a freshman or sophomore (up to $1500) than the $1000 child tax credit. I may no longer be 20 years old, but it seems that going back to school in my later years will pay off in several ways. :)

The short answer is that it depends on the industry/career path you are interested in. I have an LLB (U.K. equivalent to the JD in the U.S.) and an MBA. I am in banking..risk management analysis. I could do my job w/out the law degree but it makes me more marketable than your average analyst.\n\nAs for accounting -vs- law...accounting has more career opprtunities (whether in industry or consulting) and is one of the fields projected to have the highest levels of growth in coming years...in short, you may always have a job (or avenues to a job). I recommend that you do an M.S. in Accounting rather than JD unless you have your heart set on legal practise. In terms of your questions:\n1)....I work at least 65hrs per week. This is typical in finance/legal, whether in industry or consulting.\n2).... Starting salaries for accounting majors are $45K, while in legal, they are $35K.....both have pretty good money potential but in legal you have to remain billable whereas in accounting (billable hours are only used in consulting)...\n3)......both fields generate pretty good contacts, if you wish to leverage to pursue a political career.\nGood luck!

It does not matter where you work.  Whatever entity you set up, you will wish to take profits out of the business to live on, right?  In that case, you will have to pay NY taxes becaus that is where you live.  Remember, not all free advice is worth the money!  (Think about it.)\n\nYou should consult with a NY CPA, who will be able to advise you best.  Do not rush to a low-tax jurisdiction without considering the effect on your own personal return.  Ultimately, that is the bottom line.

I guess it would depend on what you're leaning to. I disagree with the "helping people" vs. "making money" stance. A decent job done in the spirit of doing it well and in the spirit of giving would in turn enable you to earn at the same time help people. Going back to the original question, if you like both careers, you could go into law and specialize in taxation for example. Or if you're leaning towards being a CPA, you could take law classes related to your career as a CPA. You can also take some sort of psychological exam that determines where your aptitude and interest lies. And then you can base your decision on the result of the exam. Just my two cents worth. I hope it helps. =)

As long as you worked in a state, you're required to pay taxes on the income you earned in that state for the part of the year in which you worked there.  As far as how much taxes you may pay, it depends on whether there were any taxes withheld by the firm for which you worked (which would be reported on the 1099.)  \n\nUnder the circumstances, it might make sense for you to invest in tax preparation software this year to prepare all the returns - it will help you get organized, and save you a great deal of time preparing the returns.

You can do that, but it's not a double major.  The master's in law will have to follow the bachelor's.  As long as the master's is not getting a law degree designed for the bar exam, the whole run should take about 6-7 years so yes, it is longer and more expensive than a 4 year bachelors degree. A master's in anything is more advantageous than a bachelor's alone.  Be sure the two degrees complement each other though. I'm not sure how criminal justice and business law relate in the job market.

This is a nice thing to do but only consider it for part time and not as your main source of income ...    After all this too has the same pyrimidical structure so this may come to saturation after some time..  Also do it if u think that u have  a good network of friends to see a quick success....\n        Please take advise of some elders  also ........
