[QUOTE="Rosie_Kitten, post: 248354, member: 43597"] Yup. And, to point out, there are people with 1st class degrees in, for example, mechanical engineering, struggling and scraping for low level engineering jobs (~30-40K salary), much like people here are for TCs. Whereas, in law, you have the same fight, for the most part "only" need a 2:1 to be competitive, and don't have to pay/commit to a law degree to switch careers. Then, if you succeed, you get a much higher financial reward. I'm writing this from the standpoint of these students btw, I personally don't underestimate the competitiveness of law. Of course I've over-simplified, but in a sense you can see why law is so attractive now to non-law graduates / career changes. Inevitably, many more people will be applying as jobs in other degrees get worse and scarce. [/QUOTE]
