[QUOTE="City Lawyer wannabe, post: 75946, member: 12156"] [USER=7657]@whisperingrock[/USER] I found the response(s) I received on the Student Room to be more than merely abrasive and the responses I have received on this forum have been quite different. I am failing to understand how you bringing this up and even going so far as to post a link for everyone else to see helps to answer my initial question. If you wish for me to admit I was offended by some of the comments (I had issues with multiple) that I received on the Student Room, I was. In response to the question that I asked, I was called 'desperate', my 3 LL.M.s were 'desperate' and that I 'lacked commitment to the law', not the legal industry. The particular user you are referring to also seemed to glance over my question. They did not realise that I had already undertaken legal work experience in my years of studying but proceeded to assume (not reading the question) that within '6 years of study' I gained no experience in spite of holding down a full-time legal job, an internship abroad and work experience at regional/high street firms. The responses on this forum so far appear to be much more helpful, here users like [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] , [USER=8899]@HorsesForCoursesNeighNeighNeigh[/USER] [USER=7554]@danieljonesqb[/USER] are providing detailed information in a manner that is helpful and answers my question. Here I am not being called 'desperate' or 'lacking commitment to the law' , instead I am told how a law firm may view it and that I will be required to justify my career choices. [/QUOTE]
