Hi I am just turned 52 y.o lady and have a 2:2 from a good University in Pharmacy and I am a Prescriber. I live on the South coast. I am wanting to change career and noticed the condensed PGL and sqe1 and 2 which I believe I could do online and self-fund. Am I too old to become a solicitor - I have not worked in a law firm before. The alternative option is conveyancing. I'd like to continue working for a lot longer. Thanks

Absolutely not. Why not volunteer one day a week at your local Citizens Advice to see which area of law and rights work you like best.
