I'm a T-3 NLU student and I was doing fine up until recently. I'm a first-gen with no contacts, and I'm having a career scare. I've completed an internship at a T-1 law firm and it didn't go well and sort of stunted my confidence. Prior to this, I was doing well at my T-2 internships, extra-curriculars and even academically. However since the internship, nothing has gone right. I've been rejected from all the internships I've applied to, and it's naturally disheartening. I also feel like I've hit a slump academically and I'm unable to study because I'm worried about my career.
I'm a 4th year student and it's getting real-er by the minute. I don't want to believe that I've squandered my "one opportunity" after the T-1, but it's slowly starting to feel like it.
What do I do? Where do I apply? Genuine suggestions for places to apply would be appreciated. Also any career guidance or aspect to focus on would be great.
