I'm writing this from the UK, where the costs are much lower. But you're right, it's still a very substantial investment. I want to do some volunteering and hear from others before I take the plunge.
- warrenm 9y agoI'll freely admit I don't know a huge amount about UK salary comparisons .. but definitely talk to legal professionals you already know - and try to get them to talk you out of it If you still want to do it after hearing all the reasons not to, go for it :) Curious: would you prefer the barrister or solicitor aspect?
- _1hjn 9y ago> Try to get them to talk you out of it This is a great idea. If I can hear all the reasons against, and still feel confident - that's when I know I'm heading in the right direction. I don't intend to make any rash moves. And I'm investigating other options: working for the civil service, for example, or finding a way into a thinktank. These all appear to use similar skills but don't require the large initial outlay. > Would you prefer the barrister or solicitor aspect? Barrister. I do know that's a very competitive path. But I like the idea of working independently and I think I would prefer to work on advocacy. I'm keeping an open mind though.
