last semester ever!Never quit! perserverence and hard work will get you through!
btw Iwannarock, its your last semester!! finished with your take homes?
Thank you for the recommendation, will look into itHope that helps, and read the book, I think you'll find some answers, or at least get someone's perspective who has gone through a law degree, gotten a job and realised it wasn't for her.
Good luck!
Really? All I seem to hear from are those who come from a "long line of distinguished judges and lawyers..." and have already picked out which firms they want to go to... I haven't really met many who clearly say they don't intend to end up as lawyers... :mad1:its comforting to know that there will be lots of other people like me that get a law degree and never actually go in to practice.
Thanks for that!!! Hopefully, your words will stick with me whilst I bleed 5000 words for a take-home over the next 24 hoursNever quit! perserverence and hard work will get you through!
I second that.all the time.
all the time.
Woohoo not alone then But would you actually do it?... is it actually possible to quit law once you've taken the plunge into the trap that is the law degree..I second that.
1st year 2nd year i could of.Woohoo not alone then But would you actually do it?... is it actually possible to quit law once you've taken the plunge into the trap that is the law degree..
i don't think many people plan to do a law degree and not end up practicing.Really? All I seem to hear from are those who come from a "long line of distinguished judges and lawyers..." and have already picked out which firms they want to go to...

True true... I guess the option of quitting has faded away... damn it I'm trapped1st year 2nd year i could of.
when you get to 4th and 5th you think of all the wasted money and time if you quit so you stick to it.
If it's your first semester and doing Jurisprudence - that unit = , seriously, I don't know any other law student that speaks fondly of that hideous unit except for one philosophy student...It's not that I hate law, in fact I enjoy parts of it, but I am afraid of the workload in a legal career, I hear horror stories of lawyers working 60-80+ hrs/week with 40% depression rate and it just doesn't seem like a career that fits me. At the same time I am afraid to quit and regret it for the rest of my life, one reason why I am contemplating to quit is because I am still in transition mode from high school (hardly any friends is one thing, the daunting environment is another).
Anyway, if you're doing combine maybe you can do what I do, graduate from your other degree first, then see where it leads.
Undertaking Jurisprudence in your first year and first semester at Macquarie has always been a bit confusing for me. I can understand that it can help with your legal reasoning, philosophical foundations and legal analysis skills, however considering that it is a 4th year subject at USYD and UNSW, I've just got to ask the question: "wth??". There are some Macq transfers in my class this year and they said Jurisprudence was really random as a subject but they're glad they won't have to relive it again later on in the undergraduate careers lol.If it's your first semester and doing Jurisprudence - that unit = , seriously, I don't know any other law student that speaks fondly of that hideous unit except for one philosophy student...
As to workload, surely the horror stories are just some people... I guess we could always be monotonous suburban conveyancers or just some unambitious civil servant to avoid the workload, right?
Re: transition to uni - before you know it you'll be another Mq student and just get sick of the "environment" (blobs of cement, trees, constant hum of assessments etc...)
just off topic Asylum,Plus its massive rock n roll cred when they interview you and ask you why you got a law degree!
