Hi,

I am graduating in May 2010 from LSU, and I am so confused and just can't make up my mind as to what Bar Exam to take. The choices I have are NC, Va, or Texas. Here are the reasons for those 3 states:

NC: My parents live there and I went to undergraduate there. However I don't have any legal connections there.

Va: My sister lives there and there are a lot of government job opportunities there.

Texas: I worked there the summer of my 2L year however the firm said they were on a hiring freeze and did not make me an offer. I have a bunch of connections there (but they are not substantial where they will give me a job tomorrow morning. I just know a lot of people there), and I have been dating a guy who lives there whom I really like but it's not serious yet.

My heart tells me to go to Texas but since I dont have a job right now, the question is how will I survive there and study for the Bar at the same time.

My parents have offered me to go home and be with them until I find a job however after living away from home for so many years I don't know if I can move back home and be comfortable with that.

If you were in my shoes, what would you do? I have to submit my applications within a week or two. I already missed the initial deadline for NC and Texas because I just couldnt come to a decision. Now I have to pay late fees. Please please give any constructive advice and share your experiences.

Many thanks!
