Careers after dropping out
Hi all,
I read law at Stirling university (living in london and before everybody jumps on me I was told by the university that the conversion year was included in the fourth year syllabus) and I dropped out after two years due to the fact that I didn’t want to do an extra year on top of the already four years as opposed to three in England. Have I completely shot my chances at a career in the legal world in the future ( I was awarded a diploma in higher education (law) but I’m not quite sure where that leaves me) if I were to apply to a firm? I’m aware of the questions I would face and I’m more than prepared to face them but is it impossible?

There are a lot of transferable skills you would have picked up, hold your head up high. Have you considered entry level roles in law? A lot of legal firms will recruit accounts assistants etc, your prior knowledge of law would be of immense benefit to you when applying for these roles!
