Trying to accept I’m probably not going to break into the legal field. Any advice?
Im not sure if i’m looking for moral support or practical advice. I’m in my 20s and I wanted to be a kind of lawyer in Ireland. But I’m doing really badly in my exams. They are closed book, and I just don’t know how to get that much information into my head. I have fallen behind everybody else I know. I keep failing and trying to sit my tests again, (third time) and I’m just getting tired of it.
I just want to be good at something? I think I’m good at this, but I can’t get past these tests. It’s a barrier I don’t know if I can cross, and I’m getting scared of pouring more time into it.
I know a lot of people who have already started their careers. The same people have made comments about me before - about not being smart enough to do what they do.
I don’t want to give them that satisfaction but I don’t see what else I can do 😢 a part of me wants to just make a big career change, get away from this environment where I keep “failing” But I don’t know if I’m giving up too soon. I feel so stuck!
