[QUOTE="TomieKaw, post: 214738, member: 41305"] Hope everyone is having a great week! I am completely new to TCLA and wanted to introduce myself and get some sort of advice on my situation since ngl I have a wave of depression hitting me every. single. day. I am International student, my age is in the higher 20s, have obtained an LLB from a UK based university (Non Russel Group) with a low 2.1; don't have the most impeccable academic results but I have got a drive like no other because I am relentless in my path to succeed. I can speak 6 languages (4 fluently, 2 on a more basic/intermediate level and currently learning 2 more), I have excellent networking & communication skills. I am currently applying to TC's within the Uk, outside of the Uk, applying to paralegal roles, internships, you name it (everything that has a legal job description under the sun basically) and so far, nothing. I also feel that because of my age and graduation date, I am truly losing in this race against time... Some days seem bleak, some hopeful but I will not give up no matter what. I guess what I am looking for here are words of encouragement and to feel like I am not alone in this path. I have many regrets concerning my academics especially having not tried as hard as I should have during high school and in university itself (I don't want to blame ADHD but after being diagnosed, it makes total sense: gifted child turned into incompetent adult). If you were to ask me, well then why corporate law or why law at all, I would have to say I went into this field at a very young age with the dream of making an impact in people's lives through protecting their rights aka going into criminal/human rights side of things and while studying my LLB I wanted to actually take the BTC path but due to changes in my personal life and lack of access to certain opportunities, I had to resort to the SQE path and here we are I guess... Thanks in advance for reading this incoherent post and look forward to garnering any sort of response. [/QUOTE]
