[QUOTE="J.001, post: 96852, member: 19478"] Good afternoon all! I was hoping to get some perspectives and advice on my specific personal circumstances. I am an LLB graduate (2017) who previously worked in Paralegal roles before switching careers in 2019 to a Fast-track Detective programme. I am now looking to reenter the legal sector and secure a training contract. I have been researching self-funding the LPC or SQE. I am apprehensive about self-funding the LPC due to the phased transition to the SQE anticipated over the next few years. I am keen to show my dedication to a career in law and believe self-funding an SQE course may be one way to achieve this. I have sufficient savings to fund the costs independently. I also think it would be beneficial to study alongside others with the same aims and objectives as myself. [LIST] [*]What would be the benefits/drawbacks of self-funding the SQE for someone in my position looking to secure a TC? [*]Are there any other recommended routes into the profession based on my background? [/LIST] Any advice/feedback would be greatly appreciated.
