Woo law degrees.

 

I'm sure the bloody thing will get me a decent job eventually. Just definitely remember to get some relevant experience before finishing uni. Don't leave it until after. That's how you end up working at a bar and volunteering at the Citizens Advice Bureau simultaneously.

 

Working in a bar/club is great. You get to chat up so many girls.

 

Yeah, it's a very underrated job actually - you also develop a lot of people skills that are the fundamental basis behind about 90% of all other jobs.....

 

Bar work was alright when I was 18. Don't wanna do it any more. The hours are **** and my feet hurt.

 

But not any more for you !!!

 

Worked in Portugal in a club when I was 18. Worked there for over a year and a half, but never really liked Portugal so moved back here.

 

How long since you left uni? I thought law was one of the better ones for employment. I guess a lot go to other education/courses etc.

 

I left Uni about 10 years ago, it was so difficult to get a graduate job particularly in the field I studied. I ended up on a graduate programme for a company I worked for during the holiday's. Transport and logistics is a million miles away from politics but having that degree did give me a leg up, all be it in an industry I hadn't given much thought to.

Good luck to everyone looking for graduate work post Uni.

 

I left uni a year ago. I've been knocking about trying various different things because I don't really know what I wanna do. I could have continued education if I'd had my heart set on becoming a solicitor or barrister or whatever, but I didn't really fancy it. People who are really into that shouldn't have a massively hard time getting a job as long as they get a 2:1 or better.

I'm just keeping my options open, trying to find myself and trying not to starve.

 

Not surprised - too near Banana!

 

Well, that depends on what his girlfriend is up for! I was teasing my mate the other day that he'll never get to chat up hot girls again because he and his girlfriend plan on going the whole distance. Then he told me that actually that's technically not correct because his girlfriend has suggested getting another girl involved. Shut me right up.

 

My sister in law just graduated: law degree 2:1; bar tending also.

 

What a nightmare. She planning on doing any internships/experience or anything to get her foot in a door?

 

Blimey !!!

Oh man, this might be my favourite YouTube video ever.

Side note: I'd also like to fire it at his mum.

 

Well she is bi, may have to ask her.......

 

She is now this old fart had a word... Told her to think about the different areas shed like to work in and write visit all lawyers in her area and courts offering to do some work free of charge for experience.. Never know where it ends up. She's in Leeds.

 

Hey, Beefy, Tebow's gone!

 

You sure? I know Pats have released 10 but have more to cut yet.
