Only A Few More Weeks 'Till I am Officially a 3L and Only 8 More Months 'Till Graduation!

I registered for the last law school classes I will ever take last week and it felt sooooo good! In a few weeks I will finally get rid of my 2L status and be a 3L with only the fall semester left. I signed up for Children in the Legal System, Secured Transactions, Law & Literature, Criminal Procedure 2, and Land Finance. I may drop one, but that is what I have for now. Going to school last summer and doing the internship for class credit this summer so I could graduate in December was the best thing I ever did! :-) But now, I have to decide what I am going to be doing with myself after graduation in 8 months! I have no idea if I will be hired anywhere and I have always wanted a Phd. So, I am going through the tough decision of either going ahead, taking the BAR and praying someone will hire me before I have to make those student loan payments--or, taking two more years of classes and get my Phd. Everyone has given me opposing advice and I have no clue what to do. Part of the problem is that I am totally convinced that no one will hire me, especially with the economy in the state it is in and that fact that there is only one location I can look for a job because my husband already has a job there and it is the only place I want to live. SIGH!
