Hi all, I am considering doing a GDL (well actually a PGDL) with BPP this coming September and want to get your thoughts!
I currently work in events for a global bank and I want a career change as it's something I just fell in to and I'm not overly passionate about it anymore. I am late 20s, I have a university degree (2:1 in business) and will need to do the course part time which will take 20 months. By the time I complete the course I will be early 30s.
For those that work in law firms what would be your thoughts or things that I should consider with entering law at this age. Would people look down on me that I've worked in events before? Contracts and compliance are a big part of my day so I have experience there and I volunteered with the police as a special a few years ago which I thoroughly enjoyed, I just can't help but wonder whether I will be judged coming in to the game quite late?
I will need to get a training contract at a law firm that would be able to fund my LPC as I can't afford that on top of the PGDL.
Thanks in advance
