The life of a lawyer
Russ:
How old were the lawyers in the profiles?

It's really not. 6 years for ugrad + JD compared to 5 years at monash is only one year either way.

--- Quote from: Burberry on January 09, 2011, 01:28:28 am ---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.

From what I've heard from teachers, you won't be able to survive in law if you're not passionate about it.. and I mean really passionate. I think in some cases there are even 12-hour working days involved - the workload would be tough I'd imagine, but it'd also be a really rewarding job. I've never given Medicine or Dentistry a thought - apart from the fact that I despise maths/sciences, I'd much prefer sitting in an office all day, instead of doing hands-on work like doctors and dentists.

In answer to Azure's question, if you get 99+ you can still apply for a cap place, if you don't get the CEO place you can still fall back on the full fee place.
Also remember that there is fee help which allows you to pay the course fees back once you start working, this still applies for full fee places....
