Can you guys give me some helpful careers advice?

What can i do off a LL.B law i am also going to do the LPC not that it will help me with much.


Basically i have applied to over 55 places i am one of the best in my class i always get the top grades and the county council even said i was exceptional but that doesn't count for **** in this world its all about who you know, i know no-one in law.


I see freinds getting given places by Daddies freind and you can only imagine my frustration.


It's time to consider some alterative careers i was considering police and don't tell me 'you can do anything with a law degree with your transferable skills' that doesn't help i want to know of some jobs you can go into with law.


Don't answer if your not going to be nice.


Don't pick on my spelling i'm dyslexic and i tried.Can you guys give me some helpful careers advice?
You're going to make it with such exceptional credentials. But you might have to settle for a job that is less than ideal, first, to get some connections and to build your resume.





Have you done an internship? If not, even though you will make nothing or next to nothing, it is a great way to build those connections and work yourself into a job.





At your university, ask the employment services office, if there is one, about any relevant openings for jobs or internships, or clerkships. Be sure that you get letters of recommendation from your professors and anyone that you have worked for, and put together a package with your resume, transcripts, letters of recommendation and any awards you may have received.





My brother was dyslexic, also, but got a law degree and now has an award-winning law practice that spans several states, with 15+ lawyers working FOR him, and about 60 other employees, as well. Just telling you that to encourage you!Can you guys give me some helpful careers advice?
Given how far you have come already I think you will regret not finishing off with the LPC.This will give you time to continue pursuing a training contract.It will also give you many more options when you get it.Don't get bogged down in the ';who you know not what you know'; frame of mind. It does exist but it is not the end of the world if you persevere.Good luck.
There are lots of jobs, working in government (politics, courts, lobbying) working for law firms, working for corporations utilizing transferable skills or in their internal legal departments, there is a lot you can do! Other will add a lot more i bet!
Can I suggest that you contact your local 'ConeXtions' office? They also have a web site, (just type in Connextions) and may be able to help you.





I do hope you find a place for your skill and determination. For a dyslexic to take on the wordy world of law takes courage.
