In general I don’t think you will be penalized for working. Colleges recognize that for many kids earning money has to be a major EC.

That said, there is something to be said for finding out if you are really interested in a field. I had a friend in college who thought she would like to be an archaeologist until the summer before her junior year in college. She went on a dig and hated everything about it. By then it was a little late to think about alternatives. However law is a huge field, and there are many, many ways to be a lawyer.
