The life of a lawyer

(1/5) > >>

burbs:
Currently I am considering Comm/Law or Arts/Law at ANU, Monash or Melbourne.

My question is pretty broad:
What should I be aware of before I set myself on law this year? Not so much how hard it is at uni, more it usefulness in the job market, how to best maximise my chances of a job (do double degrees help more, if so which ones, what about languages...).

How long before lawyers make a decent living? Where is the money at? I'm not doing it for the money, but I would like to know.

Cheers, oh and any other advice like which uni is best etc.

Russ:
From what I've heard: it's a crowded/competitive job market. If you're the best you'll get noticed but otherwise it's hard work after graduation to work your way up. No idea when the money starts.

werdna:
I'm also interested to know about this - aiming to get into exactly the same courses as Burberry! ;D

Would love to do the JD at Melbourne Uni, but the cost of even the CSP place is just way out of reach.

Really? It's not that outrageous, especially when you consider the government pays it.

werdna:
Hang on..  :-\ How much of the $100,000 JD course does the Govt pay? (I thought students had to pay all of this?)
