Im not sure which path to go down. I know I want to become a solicitor but am unsure if i want a such a busy lifestyle for a committed period time ie 6 years .

I'd recommend you weight up the pros and cons and decide which is best for you. If it helps, a firm which offers solicitor apprenticeships recently did an Instagram post which sums up the main benefits of each path: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5gi57ZMBy6/

Hi @mara.zz

Unfortunately, this is a really personal decision and there simply is no right answer. I would recommend researching each route in depth and making a personal pros/cons list for each one depending on all the factors that you deem relevant to your decision. Once you have done that, hopefully, one option will appear to be the clear choice to make. I always find writing down decisions like this to be far more beneficial than I originally envision it will be.

I am sorry I cannot be more helpful but I hope this suggestion helps a bit!

Good luck 🙂
