[QUOTE="George Maxwell, post: 92041, member: 17165"] Hi [USER=18023]@TJames12[/USER], Welcome to the forum and thank you for reaching out for support. Although this is not a set of questions I actually confronted (partly because I was a non-law student), I was definitely preparing myself to face what you are considering. I know this must be difficult. It goes without saying, but we really are here to help you. I think [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] has listed some great ideas here. Out of interest, why did you choose to study law in the first place? One thing I have heard is that studying and practicing law are two very different things. I would also add that studying law, and then not ultimately becoming a lawyer is [I]not[/I] failing. It is just pursuing the career which you think suits you best in light of things you have realised during your degree. Don't commit to something just because you think you should! You can use the skills that you developed during your law degree in a wide range of careers. I thought that I would ask for [USER=18027]@BigThrowaway[/USER]'s thoughts on this. I know that they have converted a paralegal role into a TC offer recently and might be able to shed some light on this. No pressure by the way @BigThrowaway(!). I would be really interested to hear your thoughts on this though! 🤸♂️ [/QUOTE]
