[QUOTE="C.A., post: 122602, member: 25555"] I graduated from my LLB in 2015 with a 2:1 (after failing my first year and having to resit a module) and then I only got a PASS on my LPC, so I always had that chip-on my shoulder that I would never even be considered at the application stage, so never tried to even apply. But I kept taking on paralegal roles and 3 years later I qualified in my home-country working on deals as legal counsel on various corporate and commercial roles in magic and silver circle firms, and now I actually work for the EU on the most prestigious project being one out of five lawyers. So today, while I write his I am actually turning 30, have yet to qualify in London and working my strategy for my very first VC at a US firm. I will probably be rejected, but you know what, is not the money or the title or the prestige that I have enjoyed all these years. I am a lawyer in practice and I walk everyday in work feeling happy for practicing. This was also my attitude as a paralegal assistant 5 years ago. It's all about doing something you love whether you are a solicitor, a barrister, a fee earner paralegal, or legal counsel. Just keep applying find out where you are lacking (see review videos on applications) and you will get there. [/QUOTE]
