I wonder if anyone can help me please?
I’ve been out of the job market for 10+ years with complex child rearing, which is now coming to a point where I’m able to step away from the level of intensity that was required.
I’ve got a 1st in an unrelated degree subject and looking for a route into some kind of training. A job search threw up solicitor training with the local government and set me off down a rabbit hole. I know the training path is changing after this year so I’m keen to know what other people have done in order to train in this area. I don’t want to move home, I’m not ambitious in terms of big companies etc, but I would like to start feeling like I’m using my brain for something challenging again.
I’m in two minds, in some ways I want to say “screw it” and jump all in for the last year of the CPE path before September rolls around and the (crazy sounding) new exams are implemented.
My more rational side thinks I should take some paralegal courses and decide if I really want to do it, not change anything too drastically and just take sensible steps towards a career.
Has anyone taken this kind of path? Does anyone have any wisdom in this area? I would so appreciate a little insight please after my late night obsessive googling
