3L job search / Studying for the BAR, huge DEBT, no JOB, WHAT DO DO?
« on: June 24, 2009, 01:18:27 AM »
I'm in a real jam here and hoping someone out there has some advice for me.
Here's my situation: I just graduated from a west coast regional school ranked in the 60's on USNWR, I've got a 3.0, and wrote onto law review. I had legal jobs both law school summers but nothing to exciting. Now, I'm studying for the bar exam in IL (which is where im from and where I want to practice) but have no job and no prospects. I want to work in Chicago but I have no network or leads and to make matters worse, I'm in debt in excess of 150K. I'm going crazy. What do I do? Will things turn out well for me??? Any advice would be appreciated. I'm just looking for some guidance.
