[QUOTE="@k, post: 38700, member: 6894"] When I started out studying law I kind of already counted as a mature student. Following from that, it was important to me to find a career that provides a sense of stability and where you can plan 10-20 years in advance. It is definitely hard to get into commercial law, but in my opinion, once you get a training contract and qualify, you will not have to worry about being forced to change careers and there will also be work available for qualified lawyers. On the other hand, it was all about trying to think what career would fit my skills, interests and personality. I'm an introvert, love to delve into detail and usually take a methodical approach in everything I do in my life. Also, ever since I was a teenager I enjoyed reading my parents' contracts and figure out what the key information was in all the fine print (I know this sounds geeky, but you should have seen me reading the broadband contract instead of studying for that Maths exam in high school). Apart from that I have always loved to share my knowledge with other people and give them advice when facing personal issues. I think it then logically followed that law was something to explore and I don't regret making that decision at all! [/QUOTE]
