Like many college students, Randa Hojaiban had a minimum wage job on the side.

Other than that, she wasn’t much like most college students. She was earning two degrees at once — a master’s in social work and a JD at the University of Connecticut School of Law. And the minimum wage job wasn’t in a restaurant or a retailer at the mall, it was with the Children’s Law Center of Connecticut in Hartford. "I sort of fell into it—I was older than most other students and was getting stir crazy, and the Law Center was looking for some help in its early existence," said Hojaiban.
