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: 84027, member: 4444"] Thank you for your very insightful answers, [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] and [USER=8899]@HorsesForCoursesNeighNeighNeigh[/USER]. I do realise my plan sounds very all over the place, and that it perhaps could be seen as unorthodox to want to do law but at the same time want to do something quite different. I guess on a deeper level my reason is personal - I do feel like I want to do the LPC (or SQE next year), or an LLM, but I have this feeling I would regret not taking a gap year just to see what it's like stuyding another subject. And that if I end up self-funding the LPC or committing to an LLM this year, it would be way worse from an employer's perspective if my gap year occurred after finishing said courses in 2022. My idea with taking a year to do something else straight after my LLB was that if I do finally make a decision to settle for law down the line, I could "get back on track" with my heart fully in it in 2022 while doing the SQE or an LLM. Thus, I wouldn't be applying for TCs while doing an Economics course, which, as you pointed out, would seem odd, but rather in a year's time during the SQE or a good LLM. Perhaps I overstated my insecurity about law when I was writing the post above. I do genuienly like law. I have done internships at City law firms and loved the people and the environment, and I do find the work stimulating. But as often happens during big transitions in life I guess I might just be a bit scared of taking the next step, wrongfully thinking that this step will close all other doors and I won't be able to do anything else related to my other interests (economics, finance) ever again. Thus, my reasoning was that a gap year would not hurt, and since the difficulty in securing any sort of employment these days have left me without any grad schemes, an economics diploma could be an idea.
