Career change to Law with a 2:2 undergrad????
Hi all, I'm 25 and thinking of making a career change to Law. However, after lots of reading, it seems that my 2:2 at Undergrad may be prohibitive. Looking for some advice please - is it worth undertaking the GDL or MA Conversion if realistically I probably wont secure a job/TC afterwards?
For further context I graduated in 2021 with a 2:2 in Classical Music from KCL. My grades were a disappointment and mainly due to very bad mental health and overworking on the side (to pay for uni in London). Unfortunately, due to my mental health I was too anxious to even apply for mitigating circumstance/speak to my tutors about it all during the 3 years. During uni, I did take a Music and Law module, which was my favourite of the entire course. Since then, becoming a Solicitor has always been in the back of my mind, but due to mental health I always assumed I wasn't good enough. Now I am much better and thinking of undertaking a MA Conversion at UoL (mainly because if I get a 1st/distinction in this, perhaps it can 'fix' my undergrad more than a GDL could??). I've been working in Tech Sales for the past 4 years and have been very successful, always being a top performer, exceed quota and going above and beyond in my role. Only problem is I absolutely hate the job.I am however very used to high pressure, competitive, fast-paced environments, which I think could be valuable in Law.
Is it worth me making this jump? I am confident that I have the ability to achieve top grades now as I have sorted everything out with my MH etc. I am just cautious that afterwards, it may be difficult to get a job (not expecting MC but mid-size perhaps). Is it also possible for me to secure work experience this Summer, if apply including that I have accepted a place to study for September?
Thank you so much.
