Any solicitors out there... tell me about your life!

With respect to the external study, I studied internally at a NSW regional campus where 70% of students were external and mature-age...it's UNE in Armidale, if that helps.

I did post-grad study at Monash in Melb. The LLB is different from the JD, but I *think* only in form, not in the final outcome ie. I think a JD might make you just as qualified as an LLB, but is for people who have other qualifications - it would be worth asking the Uni for more info, cause I'm only guessing!

Oh, and I wanted to qualify what I said before about working for love, not money...certainly there are parts of my work that can only be done for love, and are only rewarded in love. But I am actually paid well enough...it's just that I will never get rich doing my job, nor is that my ambition. The social belief that lawyers are money-hungry ambulance-chasers is not by any means accurate. Hope that helps.

Thanks Girls

Persephone - Did you like the program there?
It is an option or SCU (lismore). Either way i need to travel 250km for the intensive study weeks attached to external mode.

The money isnt important . i am willing to take the pay cut as i understand the work is different to my current job.
