Wow, I never expected so many great responses! Thanks for the advice, you've been really helpful. So it looks like I won't be going to NYC after all; the Big Apple is forbidden fruit that will have to wait.
By the way, I appreciate the advice on law schools and rankings, but it seems I'm going to try for a postbaccalaureate pre-med program now. Wish me luck!
This may or may not work for you..but..if you want to make serious $$$ in any major city in this world..learn how to bartend. That's a skill that's always in demand..and it's fairly easy to keep yourself afloat once you get that first bartending job. You're in ATL. grab a job as a server in a liquor-oriented establishment. more nightclub than food, or both,if they have a full, active bar. let mgmt know you want to bartend..hell get a job as a barback. You'll learn quite a lot right there. grab a book of drink recipes..or get one of the many free apps that go right on your smartphone. ask a bartender where you work, once you find a server/barback gig, to work with you on how to sling drinks..get TIPS-certified. its a class of a few hours, cost all of $40 bucks. See, none of this is your "career"..but..in NYC..or any city, once you have some experience..it'll pay the **** out of your bills. Guys/girls(especially girls) out there making thousands a week for like 3-4 nights a week in shifts. Gives you a lot of time to pursue whatever it is you're pursuing. something to think about..good luck man.
I was in the same situation. I just knew I was moving to New York from Atlanta without a job. I realized that I would not be as happy as if I had a job already. I started applying EVERYwhere and eventually got an interview (using my friends address) and I got the job (well pending my background check). I am happy that I got it because it takes a lot of worry off of my soldier.
