Ill go with that! I have been doing some research and luckily the SQE applies to the SRA board so hopefully, I can still qualify as a solicitor once I complete my course. It's not exactly a rush but more that I am worried about my career options when I look at it academically..
but having looked at a few profiles on linkedin, many people already have degrees as you say, and then go on to do cilex and become legal exec, solicitors or paralegals. (i guess i am at a disadvantage because I haven't done a uni degree yet)
I hear what your saying in terms of SQE disadvantages, but at the end of the day there are also many people going through this new pathway without spending money on uni and instead, going for apprenticeships/qualified work and getting more experience than uni graduates.
I guess ill need to check for requirements by law firms.
I still have 2 years left until i graduate so plenty of time to figure out! thanks for the advice!
