[QUOTE="aspirationforlaw, post: 122380, member: 25489"] Hello everyone, I'm looking for some general career/prospectus advice. For the background: I'm foreign so I studied abroad up until my first degree which I did in UK. I got weak grades in secondary school and high school and got a 2:2 in my first undergrad. However, then I went on to work in the industry I had my degree in and spent a few years working there. It was a good role, as it was a fast-paced environment and it gave me a lot of responsibility. Then I decided I want to do law instead. I enrolled to do an LLB and finished with a high 2:1. I started my LPC in Sep this year and I'm currently doing well. On top of this I have accounting qualifications I did during my LLB to strengthen my chances in getting a TC. I keep getting rejected left and right from TC applications at the application stage. I worked on my application writing technique and I had at least some hopes for the most recent application but got rejected again. I'm losing hope as to whether I should pursue a career as a solicitor. I'm much older than most of my colleagues (I'm going to be 29 in May) and seeing that I keep getting rejected from TC starting in 2-3 years makes me recalibrate my future. Maybe this is the moment for me to finally realise that a career in law is not intended for me? [/QUOTE]
