Second Baccalaureate

Yunno, I'm curious, studying history and International Studies as a first degree and considering whether to pursue another bachelor degree in Law in one of the African best universities or join his country Airforce Officers' cadre?
whatchu say?

Depends very much on what the intention is going forwards. Things aren't good or bad in a vacuum. From the perspective of becoming a solicitor or barrister in the UK, doing a second undergraduate degree generally isn't something that's worth the time or money. But if an individual wants to become a lawyer in Africa, for example, then doing a second degree in an African university may be beneficial. Or not. I don't know because I don't know anything about how African countries recruit lawyers, but logically it could have some benefit. Equally, if the intention is to practise in military law or to secure a role as a lawyer within the armed forces, joining the airforce or enrolling in a specific scheme in that regard may well be a positively good idea. It all depends on the context and what the overall ambitions are.
