Suddenly thinking about where I am going to work after graduation has turned into a big decision. I’m not going to go into any details right now, but suffice it to say that what wasn’t a big deal before has ballooned into a decision that will most likely decide where I will practice for a long time (quite possibly forever), where Ryan will work, where we will buy our ‘forever’ house, and where our kids will someday be raised. What was once open and possibly short-term has turned into potentially permanent.
I have a lot of thinking to do. Pro and con lists will be involved, and I need to talk it through with my husband, career services and my advisor. Several other opinions wouldn’t hurt. In this economy, I can’t really afford to be indecisive. I will need to look for other work if I decide this isn’t the best thing, or go ahead and commit to this and be done with it.
Who said having a job offer isn’t stressful?
I wish I knew about career advisers when I was in school. I bet all of your professors have a ton of ideas too!
I’m totally in the same boat. How are we supposed to make decisions this big whilst dealing with all the other joys that law school brings? I want a mini flash forward – just to know it all works out. 🙂
