Step One: Stop reading our horror stories about the bar exam
Congrats on your upcoming graduation! I think most of us here are in public interest. I also have six figures in student loans and am participating in the public service loan forgiveness program. If you have any questions about it, I'm happy to help! I'm up to month 33 of my 120 payments.
I agree with @DisneyMandC, stop reading our horror stories. The bar exam is definitely not a cake walk, but I think most people that can make it through law school with decent grades can also pass the bar exam on the first try.
And congrats on your impending graduation! I was really happy to finally be finished. My boss and I have a little joke. We don't trust anyone who says that they enjoyed law school. It isn't meant to be fun. But I do love my job. I just got off a webinar where I presented on developing data use agreements for public health agencies with a group of national public health practitioners. The questions were great and I like to think that what I presented will be useful in improving data sharing and as a result, improving the health of their communities.
