Law Degree
NoAngels:
I am in the Graduate Entry course so instead of the 4 years.. I get to do it in 3 years.
I don't plan to use the Law degree first , will definitely do something in the science sector. Even after your first Job as Lawyer Marks still count?
Yea this will be the first degree, I will do in a Uni that isn't part of the Group of 8 so didn't actually consider that at all.
ninwa:
Why are you wasting 3 years doing a degree you don't plan to use? Especially a degree like law which can be extremely dry, boring and expensive. And in a market which is already oversaturated with law students...
Yes, to get your foot in the legal industry your marks do matter, as well as work experience, co-curriculars (e.g. mooting) and extra-curriculars (e.g. hobbies - law firms like to see that you have other things going on in your life).
After your first job, your marks will start to matter less. But you have to get in first!
NoAngels:
Ahh I know someone for the first job which is comforting.
I plan to do law later in life just not now, however, I don't know if I can get into Law ( the degree) again later in life and also if i will have the motivation to study later in life.
My Undergrad and Masters marks are still healthy though to even do the Melbourne JD.
Lawyers have it worse.. dry degree PLUS competition. At least in Med, you have a job waiting for you after 80% of the time ha
ninwa:
May I ask why you haven't chosen the Melbourne JD instead? That would boost your chances of a legal career.
