Hi [USER=25017]@Maria d'Orey[/USER],Thank you very very much for your reply, it really does mean a lot to me.I really did find my passion for law and I am most interested in Banking / Finance / Real Estate law for its complexity and technicality. The firms I chose to apply to specialise in these areas.I have to admit that It is hard to keep going. I'm still worried about how long it will take me to get a TC. For many reasons, I cannot live on a paralegal's salary (where I live it's 18 - 21k) for the next 3-4 years. I was wondering whether I should just make use of my accounting qualifications but then the thought of foregoing a career in law makes me really sad.Sorry for what might feel like oversharing, I don't have anyone to share those concerns with and I really value all of the advice given on this forum.
