-: My name is Mark Livingston and currently I'm
a law student at the University Valparaiso School of Law,
which is something that I started doing
about a year and a half ago after leaving
government work for almost 10 years.
I think that internships are amazingly valuable.
I think that getting that practical hands on experience
while you're earning your degree is incredibly important.
And a lot of places will hire people without degrees
to do jobs, maybe in the office.
So maybe during the summer time you work
in the clerical position in the department.
It still gives you a good glimpse at the system.
