debate in my head

Option One:
Familiar (and beloved) Country + Law + Non-Funded + No Firm Long-Term Prospects?

Option Two:
New and Exciting Country + Non-Law + Funded + Longer-Term Law Prospects?

(Oh, and what about the part where option two has already had someone apply, be offered the position, and turn it down? And I feel like I have a relationship with them now. And I might want to work for them eventually, even if I do option one right now.)

Anyone? Anyone?

Hi M,
I would go with option 2 if I were you. It is good to always try something different and experience a new and exciting country that you are used to that will give you a different perspective than the one you are used to.

Perhaps you will run into other Long term law related prospects there. The most important thing is that it is funded, so you will not be frustrated while looking for jobs in a law related area.
Have fun, be creative, you are still young. Before you know it, something will pop up in your specific field.

"A bird in hand is worth two in the bush" meaning: You have something that has fallen right on your lap, why do you want to go too far to get what you want?"

Of course, these are just my suggestions. Best wishes and keep in touch.
