[QUOTE="Abii, post: 109223, member: 10322"] Fear of the unknown is completely natural, especially with the pressure attached to it being something you have worked really hard towards. I am the type of person that tries to plan for everything and automatically goes to worst case scenario disaster mode so I can relate somewhat although I am not (yet) a future trainee - however I work similar hours across a full time job and the LPC, and have previously worked a full time and part time job, and almost full time whilst studying a full time LLB. I have moments where I think what happens if I get a TC and then hate it because my entire life for the last 6 years has been studying law and working towards that goal so you aren't alone! Working long hours is exhausting - but so is not having any financial security. Even on a trainee salary at the MC you shouldn't be stressing about how you pay next months rent as it is above the London average salary. Law does have an attrition problem, but so do many other industries with similar working habits/patterns. Hopefully this will start to be addressed by law firms in the near future!
