hmmm.... I'm in a similar situation. I just got my B.Sc (physics & computer science), but I decided I want to do law. I'm heading over to Durham to do a LLB, which takes 3 years. there are both ups and downs for this... (-)it takes longer than the CPE, (-)more expensive as i'm considered as overseas in UK, (-)i'll be older than EVERYONE, (+)i'll have law degree which is more acceptable worldwide than CPE itself, (+)i have a second chance to pull up my grades for undergrad as physics & computer science went really rough, (+)perhaps if i later want to do a masters, the LLB grades will help me better.... what do you think? am I doing the right thing?
