Is SQE worth it?

So I’m confused whether to do SQE and become a solicitor or just go pick another career option.

This depends on what you want.

Have you done some work experience/shadowing/vacation schemes/ internships to see if the profession is worth the investment.

If you are unsure then consider your options. I would not get to worried about it. The SQE is designed to make it easier to qualify as a solicitor at any stage in your life. This means if you do decide a different career (providing you have at least a undergraduate degree) you can qualify as a solicitor through the SQE route.

However, like I have said this is should be a decision of what is best for you.

Are you studying law?

I am currently studying law and going to be graduating next year, I do want to work in the legal field but I was put off doing SQE as it gets compared to LPC for being harder and more money draining..
