I kinda want to work at a big international Law Firm now, but Imm planning on doing an Economics degree... Mostly because Law is extremely oversubscribed & apparently seems like a hard sector to land a job in. The pay can be really bad too as I heard.
With an Economics degree I have more options for the future where there are other careers where I can also earn big bucks.
I'm just scared honestly that if I do a Law degree it'll be of no use when I can't land myself a job.
Anyway, is it really that hard to land yourself a job in those big internationally law firms? Like, do you have to have really good connections?

I am exactly in the same position as you. but the good news is that you can do any degree, and then do a gdl; which is practically a law conversion course. And then from there you can train as a solicitor or a barrister. however I can't confirm to you whether employees would opt for someone with a law degree or another degree as well as the gdl.

You can do a 'Graduate Diploma in Law' and become a registered barrister or solicitor. However, I'm not sure how competitive the courses are?

Yeah, I guess I'll be doing that then! I just hope it's not too competitive :/
However, will I need a Masters to get into the Magic circles? Like all the big Law firms such as Allen & Overy?

I haven't done my A levels yet but in the process of choosing them. I really want to get into Cambridge! For A levels though I'm hoping to do Maths, FM, Ancient History & Economics 
I'm not sure if I should do Chemistry & Biology too... :/ But yeah... Hoping to get into Cambridge or Birmingham?
