Hi there, I'm currently a second year non-law student who is considering a career in commercial law. I've attended various insight schemes this year, and was planning on applying for vac schemes next year. However, as someone who has little life experience outside of education (went straight from school to uni), I'm worried that I might miss out jumping straight into a career as demanding as commercial law.

My question is: do you think that taking a year out post-graduation (before vac schemes/GDL/LPC, etc.) would harm my chances of a career in the sector, and would it be looked upon negatively by firms?

Any opinions would be really appreciated, thanks in advance
