NQs face dole queue as retention rates drop

Astonishing. Regarding the pedantry - whilst you're all correct that accuracy is important, may I just remind you that this is *only* a comments board! Most contributors type a quick paragraph or two during their working day (myself included, I hasten to add) so who gives a hoot if an off-the-cuff anonymous comment is not absolutely correct? There is no editing feature, and I'm sure all our employers would prefer we get on with the paid work. It's not like many people put their name to their submission anway. In this context, it's just not important. Besides, if a petty criticism concerning grammar is the absolute best response you can come up with, then I'm not sure you're fit to be a lawyer either. Pointing out someone else's faults without actually addressing their point is deeply unimaginative and not at all clever. Even though this has all been incredibly amusing to read, for the love of all that's holy just grow up. In the internet age, if you take insignificant comments boards (of which there are many) this seriously, I suggest you find a new soothing hobby and step away from the computer. @ Metallica - what to do if you don't get offered an NQ position? go out and find another. They won't beat a path to your door. Be prepared to move, be prepared to be flexible about which area of law you qualify into, and be prepared to leap out of your comfort zone. If you've invested thousands on your education, it'd be daft not putting in the effort to see it through. I'm glad I did just that, It was tense and unpleasant for a while, but with a bit of hard work I got the better end of the deal.
