I need opinions, this is a real life situation.?

I am a law graduate from PR that lives in FL. I need opinions on what would be the best way to proceed. I am not able to find a job in my field because I do not have a liscence from FL. I would need to take the bar. It costs a lot of money do to the fact that I went to school out of the states. I need to work in order to be able to pay for it, but I also need to have time to study and time is around 8 to 10 hours a day. I can take PR bar but this one is in Sept. 07 . I do not want to go back to PR, but I would want to have it because the law is going to change pretty soon and all the years of study would be useless. So, what would you do if I were you? Fl or PR? job wise? thank you all for being honest and cooperative. It could probably sound like an easy problem to solve but it is not.

Answers:
personally, i would take the bar exam in Puerto Rico ( that is the PR you mean, isn't it?)

then you could just be admitted to the bar elsewhere.
that is the positive part of doing it in Puerto Rico,

The negative of Florida- it is going to be difficult to find a GOOD paying job that allows you enough time to study if you try to do this in Florida. You might get "stuck" not being able to take the bar in Florida for years because you didn't yet have enough money, or hadn't had time to study enough.
I would go back to, I assume Puerto Rico; and gain some experience. When you are not so desperate on time and or money you can think more clearly about what would be best for you.
Most legal jurisdictions recognize bar certification in other parts of the country. If not, usually there is some lesser standard for bar admittance. Check with the Florida bar first, but you're best bet is probably passing the bar in PR and then coming back to FL.
as long as you went to accredited ABA law school it does not matter what state/ territorial you went to school, all state bar require you to take the test

now check to see if you pass the bar in pr after five years can you be admitted to practice in other states some you can some you can not if no then better to take Florida
dont move to either of those crappy states...move to a real state like california...thats where its at!
