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="Jessica Booker, post: 83811, member: 2672"] I don't necessarily agree with the above. Moving away from law has got a risk attached to it, and if your applications have potentially not be tailored enough because you weren't sure whether law was right for you, I am not convinced an economics course is going to help overcome that. If anything Economics could be more difficult to explain than say a tech course, which would be of more interest to some firms than an economics course. However, from what you have said, it sounds like you are not set on a legal career yet, so exploring options is not a bad thing, but you just have to accept this does take you away from law more so than the LPC and you’d therefore have to have some evidence to really balance that out, especially more modern experience (not relying on the rings you did pre Economics course).
