[QUOTE="djqb, post: 75826, member: 7554"] Simply put, [B]NO[/B] you are not too late. Just looking at your situation from the tip of the iceberg, you have an amazing academic profile. Please read these stats from The Law Society from Nov 2020: [URL]https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/en/career-advice/becoming-a-solicitor/entry-trends[/URL]. The average age at which solicitors are qualifying is ~29 years. This means, on average, trainees are starting their TCs at approx. age 27. I have many friends from countries which have mandatory military/national service (e.g.: Singapore) who only started their bachelors degrees at age 21. I have also met people who started the LLB or the Senior Status LLB at around the same age, and you can imagine, that they graduate by age ~24/25. And yes, they have managed to secure TCs. Meanwhile, you are only 25, and are on track to collect your 4th academic degree. Once again, in a nutshell, no you are not late at all. [ATTACH type="full" alt="abc.png"]3260[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
