I got a last minute interview with STB for and admin role but...

I'm about to go into my postgraduate course this September.So that's the difficulty. And congrats on your progression! Thank you, yes...- SSmith

No idea where to begin! Help !
Thank you so much for your helpful and very detailed reply. The last couple of days has flipped the idea of the route I thought I was going to take on its head. After my first post I found out BPPs reputation isn't that good and got swayed to enquire about Ulaw. I spoke to them as per my next...- SSmith

Hey, @AvniD ! Thank you so much, Your last two responses have made me feel like I can actually do this ! I've had some very off putting responses when I've asked exactly the same on Reddit ,mainly that I haven't thought it through, I'm being too idealistic, I'll end up in debt, stressed...- SSmith

Thank you ! I wanted to know what the work load/ commitment is like with the Online Course. And, as I'm also from a non law background, if there's any reading I could do before hand that would help?- SSmith

Hi all , Thanks for your support and advice thus far, I really appreciate it! So... After speaking with Ulaw this week, I've decided to apply for their MA Law (SQE1) course. Since it's cheaper to do online , it looks like I'll have to take that option as I'd only have to top up just over 1k...- SSmith

Unemployment/ Career Change
Oh thank you so much for your lovely reply . It really made me reflect on how far I've come . You're absolutely right , and certainly they wouldn't be a firm I'd want to work for as they're likely to be unsupportive if anything happens in the future. Yes, I'll have my CV updated to reflect...- SSmith

Will also take an apprenticeship into consideration, thanks . I've spent the night / morning really narrowing down the area of law I'd like to practice and decided to give myself until August before and if I apply to my course. I have a wealth of experience in Administration, so joining a law...- SSmith
