So, I was thinking about becoming a lawyer, but I think I may have messed up my chances of getting that far.
My A-Level's are not exactly essay based and I have a science as well as mathematics on my side. Universities state that there are no "specific" subjects they want or are looking for when applying to university, so I'm a little stuck.
Throughout my whole life I've wanted to become a lawyer, whether a barrister, solicitor or even a paralegal (last in the list) and my teachers - in secondary school - have always stuck up for me.
I suppose my real questions are:
"Is it worth taking on a law degree at university?"
"Would it be easy to get a job in a lawyer firm? (UK) - I have family members who are barristers in large firms, one of which is the director."
"Is it really worth all of that debt I get into through doing the law degree and completing further education?"
And then, one last question: what is it like to be a lawyer? I prefer prosecuting rather then defending, but I take it prosecution and defending both come into the contract, right? As long as you can win cases through doing both.. (I have no clue!)
There's a lot of stuff on Google about that but I would like to hear some people's opinions on here. Also, what do you think about lawyers? your own personal opinion.
Thanks Guys! :-)
