[QUOTE="Zoo, post: 43092, member: 2053"] Firms would have no problem with you taking a year out to work. Any work experience is great, law or non law related. What’s most important is how you talk about your experiences in your applications and interviews. Re self-funding the GDL/ applying for scholarships there’s no right or wrong answer. I chose to self fund mine because it meant I could get some legal work experience, which isn’t a must but it’s something I wanted to do. Equally, it may not be worth it for others. It really depends on your circumstances. But also note as Jessica has said above that the GDL route is changing to the SQE soon so that’s something to keep in mind when making your decision. [/QUOTE]
