Alternative careers in law

Really felt sorry for all the previous commenters. It's been some time when you all posted. Hope you all have got a place somewhere good. I believe that all you need is little experience to start with. Don't look for applying into big commercial firms or any top firms unless you have attained 1st class from a top university. I did my degree from a local town university with 3rd class. English is not my first language. However, still managed to get 3 years of experience before I have finished my LPC. Did not take any year out, if someone here is thinking that I took some years out after uni before starting LPC. Started LPC straight after degree. I got my experience during my degree and still working during my LPC. This could be the reason why I got these grades. But again, even after getting these grades I have managed to get the experience. I work with people who attained A's at Alevels, 1st and 2.1 at uni and distinction at LPC. They do the same work as I do. I just feel lucky to be at this position. I can only say to you all not to lose hope. Keep trying. If I can get hands on work experience then any one can. Dont go for money at this stage. Get in to a law firm even if you have to make coffee there. Even that would count on your CV.
