Studying Law ,is it worth it?
I heard a lot of complain after finishing the law school
that people are not finding the job.I mean it looks good in the movies and the
drama like "Suits" .But is that easy ? is it worth it? Choosing a
career is one of the most important decision of life. And also by choosing it
,your whole life direction will depend on it.
The filed of law are dying at the moment and it is drying so
fast. It is shrinking ,crumbling and dying vocational field. There are many
reason for that. One of them are technology and advanced internet made our life
so easier. A lot of people think that they can do their legal work by researching
and people are doing though. Furthermore, there are a lot of companies out
there making very efficient legal software for the field of law .
So they don't
have to hire any lawyers. Also , in order to get legal work done without the
cost of an attorney , people buy those legal software. And there are so many legal
professionals already including Attorneys/Lawyers, Paralegals, Legal Assistants
, Legal Secretaries , Bailiffs , Court Reporters and so on.
There are so many graduates who struggle to find a job after
spending too much money and huge amount of debt in their shoulder .Lets have a
look at fees and expense , Shall we ? From a full time traditional university ,
it takes 3 to 4 years to complete normal law degree and it cost £27,000 and £36,000.Although it does not have to pay until their income above £21,000.But
for international students it is more than that and they do not have any option
for study loan in UK. Furthermore, the law students who want to practise solicitors
or lawyers have to pay more postgraduate fees. Many graduates faces overall
approximately £40,000 and also it before all other expenses which is ,accommodation,
transport cost ,living fees.
Moreover, finding a job is so hard after graduation. A lot
of people motivated by seeing that the figures of lawyers. But , that is not
for everyone .As I said the market is shrinking and there are a lot competition
already . According to Robert Ackerman , Dean and
Professor of Law, Wayne State University Law School ," Do not apply to law school if money is your primary motivation.
There are easier ways to make money. The law is a profession requiring hard
work, intellectual ability and the desire to serve others" .If you
are passionate to know about the law and help people then that is fine ,
excellent choice! Unfortunately , in order to making money , would be very hard
to do so.
Choosing a career is hard and
important decision in life. Plus everything is changing now and we are living
in a world at the moment where machine is doing most of our job. Life is never
easier and if you love to do the thing you are doing , please do not stop. But research
it before making a decision and pursue that goal. If you follow the right direction
, after a while eventually the success will come to meet you.
