Surviving the pandemic was stressful for Harvard Law School student Stacey Menjivar and her family. Her parents took a huge financial hit when everything shut down last year.
Both of her parents lost their jobs in March of 2020. Her father worked in construction and her mom works in a school cafeteria. My mother has begun working again, but she still is being paid the wage that people are paid when you don t have a high school diploma, she said.
Menjivar thought that, this summer, she d finally be able to help her parents financially after all the sacrifices they made to get her to law school. She took a summer clerkship, a lucrative job for law students that can pay upwards of $30,000 per season.
