i went to law school and now work as an attorney in new york state.........my advice would be to take a training course for the LSAT before taking it.....they will give you good test tips and practice exams with time limits to prepare you..........

also GPA is important but if you score high on the LSAT and your GPA is mediocre you still have a good chance to get into a good school........

my first job out of school sucked but i quickly found a better gig and have been at the same job almost 6 yrs now and doing very well............after you have had a job or two it really doesnt matter where ou went to school or what your GPA is....as long as you perform well and dont burn any bridges you'll find better gigs and work your way up...you'll start meeting people and gaining professional contacts and opening up doors you never dreamed were there............the real world is based more on your people skills and personality versus what your GPA overall is or where your degree is from.....the people that are really successful are the ones that know how to treat people and that conduxt themselves in an impressive fashion...

my grades and LSAT score were not much better than average..but i have a good presence and a good personality and treat people well basically( i honestly think that having an athletic background really helps in this realm--helsp give your an aura of confidence and self assuredness that employers and colleagues like) and its helped me to be far more successful than folks i went to school with that had high GPA's but who cant relate to people and arent likeable.........

good luck to you................
