..... can I ask you what your day to day working life looks like?
I am rethinking of re-training as a solicitor.It is something I have wanted to do for years but we have never been able to afford the fees / timeout etc. I am going to a University of Law open day in January and need to make the decision.
I would (fingers crossed) want to work in a small high street firm near where I live. Can I ask what your working life / study looks like? I have a DS, aged 7, but by the time I finish my degree and qualify DH will be probably at home full time so that will be easy.(He has health problems and is semi retired now... will be fully retired then).
Also, can I ask about salary? I saw on the SRA website that recommended starting salary for a trainee is circa £16 k. I am on 28 K now and would be happy to drop to about 20 K for trainee purposes, but beyond that will really feel the pinch.
I'd be hugely grateful for any insights!
(I know training contracts are hugely competitive... I am being hopeful).
