Hello.
I am seriously considering a career change and need some advice. I graduated about 1.5 years ago in Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering and took up a position in a Consulting Engineering Office. The work is ok, but not great. I have always thought about becoming a solicitor but never really looked into it to now. At the minute i commute approx 2 hours every day and work a 9.5hr day which is pretty long!I was thinking about trying to get a job as a legal secretary/assistant closer to home and study for my fe1s in the evenings/weekends. When i complete my Fe1's then i might get offered a trainee position??i studied a bit of law as part of my degree and I also have some experience in engineering contracts. I hope to complete 4 exams in each sitting?
Is this a realistic plan??
