What can I do- job suggestions any1?

[BlunderBus01]

Hi all,

I graduated Uni with a non-qualifying law degree (i.e. didnt do all the key components to go on to study to become a solicitor), I then did a Masters in a specific area of the law I enjoyed academically. I've graduated now and I feel at an impasse...

I don't really know what to do with myself career wise- quite depressing actually. I don't even know if I want to do something law-related. But maybe I do. (ARGH!). Can anybody advise of careers my non-qualifying law degree might have opened a door to?

Thank you very much!

There are loads of things you could do - you just need to look at it in terms of transferable skills which you have aquired whilst doing your degree, not just the legal knowledge. I am sure that many organisations employ in house people to work on sales, particularly where matters of contract are concerned, sales terms and conditions, selling itself, as well as other areas of business where a knowledge of the law is useful, such as HR, Finance etc.

You might find this website helpful when looking at this:

I also forgot to add:

In addition, there is an excellent book "What colour is your parachute" see http://www.jobhuntersbible.com/ This is the website - you can get a UK version of the book via amazon - it will give you loads of suggestions as to what to do.

Why not join a practise till you decide your next move; earn, save & travel before you're bogged down.
