Dealing with indecision

I don't even know if I'm doing this correctly. I'm indecisive over my career and my future. I'm currently Half way through my law degree. I have a great job and my bosses have said there is a job here at the end of my degree. One of my bosses is amazing to work for. The other isn't. The other boss will play the blame game and often snarls or shouts when things are done wrong even when it isnt always my fault. When it's good it's good. When it's bad it's awful. I've thought about a career change and applied for jobs just to back out so many times I must be getting a bad name locally. This particular boss may be about 4 years from retirement....maybe. My good boss is my age. I adore him immensely and it breaks me when I think about leaving as I would work for him and alongside him forever. I don't know what to do for the best. I've often come home and just felt so defeated. I can bust my backside for hours and days on end but one small thing becomes an avalanche and just beats me into the ground. What should I do from an outside perspective? How can I deal with this excruciatingly difficult boss

This sounds like a terrible thing to go through. From an outside perspective, if this job is making you unhappy, sometimes a change is better. But I understand that you need to have a job to live an adult life. I think that you should talk to your nice boss, and tell him how you feel. This might be difficult, but it seems that the two of you are close. Talk about how you feel, and maybe he can have some solutions for you, whether that be ways where you can work for him, or other workplaces that he has connections tied to. I wish you all the best xx
