LPC LLM - worth it

I'm doing the LPC next year at either BPP or ULaw before starting my TC in September. I've heard very mixed things about doing an LPC LLM top-up, and I was wondering if anyone could help me with these questions:

1. Is there any point whatsoever doing an LPC LLM, or is it just for people who want student funding?
2. Could having a Master's help with finding work abroad?
3. Would a Master's be useful if I wanted to transition out of law?

Thanks!

I suppose Is the llm version same price as the lpc without it? Module wise it’s just a dissertation at the end isn’t it?
I figure it’s better to have the llm if not much price difference than not though 10000 words is a lot to write?

If you don't mind the dissertation then do it even if just for the sake of having a masters. Yes, it is a tinpot masters but still technically a masters degree and some jobs (in other sectors) have a tick box for having a masters degree. Don't ask me for an example but there will be some.

I didn't do the LLM because I have a distain for dissertations so each to their own
