Law or History

Hi all, having a dilemma between taking law or history.

Law Pros:

1) Better job prospects

2) LNAT would seem to be my strength

3) Doesn’t matter what uni I got to, respected either way.

Law Cons:

1) I’m not sure how committed I am to law

2) More competition for top unis for law courses

History Pros:

1) Easier to get into top unis

2) I like history, I think

History Cons:

1) Must go to a top flight uni for the best job prospects / is only really respected at these levels

2) I’m not sure how much I like history. I genuinely can’t tell - I don’t know what topics aside from modern history I really like. But then again, I enjoy a topic once I start reading about it.

I’m certain someone in the comments will say my concerns re. Jobs / courses is unfounded- I disagree.

Might be an idea to do some research and identify what each course involves and whether either interests you or not.
I would point out some things but as I see you would disagree I will defer to you knowing more about you and your life.

Have you actually registered and booked an LNAT test - if you havn't it may be too late for this year.
