I have been working as a journalist and researcher covering climate change and energy policy for nearly three years, and although I enjoy the work, the pay is abysmal and the job security is effectively non-existent. I am not sure if I have a future in the profession. However, having written extensively about litigation cases brought against fossil fuel companies and governments, I have become interested in pursuing the emerging field of environmental law. Unfortunately, I have no legal work experience aside from having attended a couple of open days with regionally sized firms.
Will the fact that I am a career changer count against me when applying for training contracts? Should I make sure to secure a TC before applying for the PGDL course?
