V zuma4k:Thanks bro.. One thing is sure, God's plan for your life can only be delayed, can't be denied. Sometimes I shed tears in my showroom. I would think back to the days in ekiti i was being paid 10000 naira at my first job.How i was cooking a full pot of soup with 1000 naira. It is well... I just bless God for my life. Only God could have brought me this far. Its not by my efforts. 3 Likes |

queenfav: Are you now currently practising law? Why can't you share your real life experiences with up coming lawyers of the challenges they might face in the future, so as to act as a guide for them. You known the craziness our youth have, I want to be a lawyer without knowing the prospect of this profession. |

Currently, most law firms don't even pay at all talk more of the 10k you complained about. The ones that pay has no vacancy and pick only first class when there is vacancy. The best law firms do now is to accommodate young Lawyers and give them transportation fees whenever they are going to court. The economic crisis is real coupled with thousands of lawyers leaving law school every year. Some senior lawyers are taking advantage of these and are treating young lawyers like sub-human. I have never seen a profession that doesn't care about their young ones like lawyers. I am going through my own share of it now as I am searching for law firm to work with. I know God will help me |

Whatever your situation is, don't stay at home doing nothing, if there is a law firm near yr house paying 15k accept and get a working(practical knowledge) but insist on doing yr own hustle. The money is in the Experience not the grades. A lawyer once served in my office, he wanted to go home after service to start applying for jobs. I told him to stay and gain experience...even though I did not need a lawyer then, I was paying him only 20k transport with full freedom to do his own thing. He is still using my office as I type and has decided not to apply for any job again because he is doing well. Above all be prayerful and be very humble. After law school reality always sets in because society and family expect so much from the big name (barrister) and this can cause serious frustration, be sincere and humble to start building yr career slowly.Also explore side hustle, technology has reduced the time we spend on legal work these days , so we have time to hustle money through other means. Stay positive. |

THE END THEY SAY JUSTIFIES THE MEANS, its not how far but how well. Life generally comes with competition. I read the thread to the letter and I must say I'm nothing short of being impressed. There are areas in different fields waiting to be tapped into, all one needs is a game plan and an idea to tap into. All the rest depends on time. Going to university nowadays is not the ultimate solution to most pple's financial fulfillment. They need a skill or two more to augment their certificate. I pity all those who will go to a university and after graduation enter the job market and finally find a 20k job or less and dwell in it. Those jobs should be inky meant to garner experience in ur choosen field. After the experience you zoom off for better opportunities or to create ur own opportunities. That's how its meant to be. I pray the op finds financial liberation and fulfillment in your new chosen field IJN. Don't worry, no knowledge is wasted, I assure you. Cc: queenfav 1 Like |

Re: Did I Make A Mistake Studying Law? by ekene247(m): 6:55pm On Nov 20, 2018 |
viazi: Thank you for this But Senior Lawyers around don't even pay at all talk more of 15k. The one I left after my NYSC still have my two months allowance with him. Even though I know how hard I really worked for him. Seriously, if I have money to start my own firm, I would do because those that we should learn from see it as opportunity to involve in labour abuse. I know it won't be easy for one to start but it becomes so bad when it has to be this way lawyers do theirs |

How can someone who learned each law and everything on this theme think about that is was everything without seanse?! I really cannot understand. I would like to know laws, to know how to use them and to make myself being respected and listened to. In this world people pay a lot of money for lawyer services to help them and you have learned it and still have questions about this topic lol. Once I have had some problems with my insurance and I had to look for a lawyer. I was lucky to find this site https://www.blclawcenter.com and called there, made an appointment and this is. That guys helped me in 2 days to solve everything. Thanks them again! |

Re: Did I Make A Mistake Studying Law? by queenfav(f): 2:01pm On Jun 20, 2021 |
olril17:This is dicey.In as much as the legal profession doesn't guarantee financial stability,i'd say get your BL from law school.After that you can dump your wig and gown, and follow your passion.You already invested 5 years studying law and bagging your LL.B,one year won't hurt to finish it up and move on to other things. |
