Waiting while working: Part 2

Dealing with the possibility that you may lose your job


26 days until the scheduled day scores are released.  As the days countdown, the anxiety builds.  Can losing your job cause anxiety?  Sure, if you are weak.(In the most sarcastic voice you can imagine) There are many jobs contingent on passing the bar exam.  I find myself lucky to not have this pressure.  However, many others do.  Because I have never experienced this pressure, I really invite you to share your insight.  Release is good for the soul and it can help someone else.

I have heard a story about one recent graduate who it constantly reminded that they WILL be FIRED, if they fail.  The graduate battles with whether to aggressively perform work or to start looking elsewhere.  As stated before, I have never had this experience.  If it were me, I would immediately start looking elsewhere.  I don't like the idea of feeling expendable and I really don't like the idea of my employability being limited to one test out of 18+ years of education.  I am worth more than that.  There is a bigger blessing out there for me.
