    Thank you! If I don't manage to get a TC, my backup plan is to call myself an 'occupational psychologist' and invent new ways to torture law firm applicants. Seems very lucrative.

    Would a lawyer do this just for the views? Am I naive in thinking that someone in the legal profession would hold themself out to a higher standard?
