Alternative Careers

What if you are doing the GDL or the BPTC, or you’re searching for pupillage or busy doing pupillage or you’re finally practising as a barrister… but you have a nagging feeling that you’re the wrong person in the wrong place? And it’s not just that you don’t want to be a barrister, but – horror of horrors – you don’t want to be a lawyer. This episode is a little different from the others: in it we hear from people who have decided to move away from the law. Our guests tell us how it felt to come to the realisation that they wanted to get off the road marked ‘lawyer’ and travel somewhere else; what practical steps they took to create their new careers and why it is that a training in law stands you in good stead no matter where you end up. We loved hearing about their experiences – we hope you do too!
