Humbly need your guidance

I humbly seek your guidance regarding my plans to pursue an LLM in the UK as a foreign student. Being an Indian law student, I have completed my BA LLB and now wish to further my education.which course , university I should prefer, what are the scholarships available.However, I am concerned about the financial aspect as the loan amount and repayment will be substantial,. I will be taking a loan for education, living expenses, and food, around 32,102.34 pounds with loan interest, which is very huge amount for me and my family cannot afford it and I have to pay back it with loan interest by myself. Despite this, I believe studying in the UK will provide numerous opportunities such as international education, independence, career prospects, exposure to different cultures, language skills, and personal development. I am unsure about which university and course to choose, as well as the risks involved, considering my lack of international exposure and financial stability. Will my hard work in the UK lead to a better future? I am prepared to face the challenges ahead, but I need to understand job opportunities and demand for legal professionals in the UK. I greatly appreciate your valuable suggestions as I aspire to serve and help others while also earning a comfortable living. Is it possible to achieve a simple life but with great earnings? Additionally, as an international student, I need guidance on surviving and working in the UK, obtaining a work visa, securing a training contract with a top firm, successfully completing my LLM, finding a job, and excelling academically to secure a training contract. Finally, I need to know about the quality of life for Indian students in the UK and whether my dreams can come true. Whether I have to take LLM SQE1&SQE2 OR LLM COMMERCIAL LAW OR LLM CORPORATE Thank you kindly for your support.

Taking out a loan is a big burden and there are no guarantees. However, after graduation you have the right to stay in the UK for at least two years and can find employment in any sector. Have you looked at graduate study options and scholarships in the US?
