[QUOTE="AnnonymousOtter, post: 229615, member: 43447"] You don't have to decide your entire future this holiday. It’s worth remembering that the average age of qualification as a solicitor in the UK is around 30. There is absolutely no rule that says you must secure a TC before you graduate. Law firms deeply values people with unique academic backgrounds and passion, so doing a masters doesn't close the door to a legal career, and will quite often enrich your profile for later applications. Right now, with diss and masters apps, your plate is full. Consider focusing your energy there to do them justice. You can keep law warm by targeting just a few firms you genuinely love, or by using time to network and attend open days instead of applying everywhere. This will help you gather intel without burning out before you even start working in the career. You could also consider exploring in-house legal internships, as I found that it is genuinely a more accessible way to get direct commercial legal experience. [/QUOTE]
