Now you know I'm going to biased on this one but here's my two cents.

I went to uni directly from school to study law. I actually loved study (and miss it to a degree) and found that I really enjoyed law. I have fond memories of being stuck in the library for hours on end with the musty smell of books wafting around me trying to get my head around the complexity of Constitutional Law. I wasn't the most committed student though. I had an Administrative Law exam on my 21st Birthday so met up with my mates at the Uni club for a beer before my exam (LMAO) still managed to get a good mark from memory. As you can see my social life still ranked high in my list of priorities but I found that once I found my groove at uni it all just fell into place.

I did 5 years full time. Some of my other friends were out earning money, getting cars, going on holidays but I just stuck in there and I have to say it is the best decision I ever made. I'm now working as a Senior Lawyer in a Federal Government department, I love my job and I am fortunate enough to be able to combine my part time work with motherhood. I feel challenged at work (and stressed at times) and I feel a different sort of self worth after a day at work. Don't get me wrong, my most important and difficult role is that of mummy, but the thrill I get after winning a complicated litigation is something that can't be replicated anywhere else.

I think whatever you do, don't doubt your ability. Challenge yourself, you will never know unless you jump in and test the waters. Don't be scared of failure, it would only be a failure if you didn't follow your dreams because you didn't think you were good enough.

Oh and if you do decide to go down the law path, I'm always here to help... for a small fee (ONLY KIDDING LOL)

Go get 'em girl.
