Graduated from RG with a first and a vac scheme (did not convert) - is it crazy to do a one year course in economics?

[QUOTE="matpart, post: 83766, member: 4444"] Graduated with a first from a good university. Have a vac scheme, open days, insight scheme and brand ambassador role under my belt but never managed to get any other vac scheme or direct TC ACs, which might have had to do with me not polishing my apps due to a slight uncertainty whether law is for me. Clearly, I am capable of doing well in the subject both academically and professionally, but now that I have graduated I am not so sure. I have been advised to self-fund for the LPC (I would be able to afford this) but recently became aware of (and gained an offer for) a Graduate Diploma Course in Economics at Birkbeck. I think it would be a great idea to do something slightly different for a year, and although I definitely feel like I would want to do law in the future, I would regret not exploring something else for a year. Let's say I discover law ultimately is what I want to do for a career - would it be dumb to do this economics course? Let's say I keep applying for vacs/TCs the following year while doing the economics course - would this be viewed badly by law firms? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
