Update looo....

 

Hey...sorry guys. Din know u guys so desparate for my update =p  jk...ok, here goes, u asked for it!

I was erm...a bit stressed up for a while there but i'm alright now. I worked for my aunt for 3 mths in her law firm and I wasn't totally for it. EVERYONE will think it's a good opportunity bla bla bla...but I wasn't happy. Y? I also dunno. of course also got some influences of family politics. U know la...working for ur own relatives....I just dunno y I felt so pressured until I can't even hear myself think and do things properly. I really dunno...it definitely put me off LAW itself even. But right now, i am VERY happy. I'm back to waitressing. I felt happy doing my job. the 3 mths in law firm actually make me appreciate my waitressing job more (I used to hate it coz it was hard work physically but being presured and stressed is HARDER!). It's same pay here for both of the jobs. Waitressing so much more less stress and it makes my smile worth much more. Sumore, every often I get compliments here and there. Besides the fact it's tiring physically I feel so much more happier.

Anyway, tat's present...as for future....I really not sure wat to do frankly. After the SHOCK I got from working in that law firm...it could be the very bad experience make me feel like mayb i'm not suited to do law anyway? With the Law degree I have now, EVERYONE expecting me to be a lawyer. If anyone know me well or long enough at all, will realise that I hate being restricted. For example my dear Karen would have known that I'm ALWAYS "rebellious" - is the common way of putting it. I would much prefer - "different". I think the thinking of - Law degree = Lawyer (I assume the very plain definition fo this word)- is VERY conservative and restricted. I admit I may have been interested in law but (if u know me-again) you would noticed I am interested in a lot of things. I like to think of other possible options.

Besides the point of looking at $$$$$$$ I really dun like working in a working environment like that. I wonder if it's any different if I were working in a big law firm with more pleasent environment? (I wonder...will it ever possible to work with STRESSFUL lawyers but in PLEASENT environment? O_o?) If it's not, then I would prefer doing other things that I like and mayb something that relates to law as well so that no one will ever gonna say to me:"so waste ah...the things you have been studying ah...for the past 3 years for your LAW DEGREE ah...!" +_+"""""

So, any ideas of more interesting job requiring a law degee?

Love always,

becky

Hi Babe!

There's loads of jobs you can apply for with a law degree besides being a lawyer....

I applied for about 500 legal jobs. Have a look online at those jobsites, even gumtree (but dont expect a really professional job there) reed.co.uk.

Sign up for job agencies. I signed up with about 10job agencies in London. Reed, Hays, Blade, Boyce, etc...

I'm actually in compliance with Mitsubishi UFJ Trust International Limited. This job doesnt not allow me to go to court, nor work on cases. Its more of administrative with a legal aspect but honestly, a law degree does help in this job. There's 4 of us in legal and compliance, and all 3 of us are qualified barristers, but none practising as one.

Do some research and good luck in your job hunt!

Also, PRAY PRAY PRAY!

luv,

sharon
