With Lightroom, you don't even need to convert to jpg - just import & Lightroom with display the images - then just tweak the ones that you want to and export those to jpg for sharing

So, shoot raw, use the software that came bundled with your camera to do quick and dirty jpeg conversions, just as though you'd been shooting in-camera jpegs, keep hold of the raw files for the future.
