Law graduate unemployment

[Hannah.00]

I will be starting law at uni this September and I am very excited. However, someone told me that taking a law degree isn’t worth it as I will end up unemployed anyways just like many law graduates. I am now stressing out by this comment made. Why are many law graduates unemployed? Is there anything I can do whilst at uni to increase my employability?

Only 7.4% of law graduates are unemployed 15 months after graduation.

Assuming you get decent grades, the main reason why people end up unemployed (in my humble opinion) is that they don't really know what they want to pursue. Regardless of what you go into, make sure you spend ample time in university attending careers events and applying for internships/graduate roles.
