[QUOTE="StickyToffeePud, post: 226866, member: 39214"] Looking for some advice please - you are all really good at that on here! I am in the final year of my law degree so will be graduating next summer. I did a VS earlier this year but unfortunately did not convert it to a TC. I am applying again for VS and direct TCs but I am anxious about work after uni. I cannot afford to not have a full time job, so will be looking to paralegal. I cannot afford to live in London on a paralegal salary, so would have to work at a more local firm. Is this looked down upon by city and US firms? Because I am not paralegalling in a commercial law firm setting? It just seems as though everyone already lives in London and can paralegal at firms they hope to eventually train at. This is simply not viable for me, so any insights would be appreciated please! [/QUOTE]
