Solicitor

    I’m a year out of college after graduating with a MA in Economics. I am currently finding the financial services jobs in Ireland an absolute nightmare – there are no interesting jobs or anything I want to do. It’s all administration!!

    I have recently started considering a career as a solicitor – I had considered a role in law before perusing the MA. I know all about the route into law (Fe-1’s, apprenticeship etc.) but what I really want to ask is what is the actual career like? I know that salary levels are high but what about stress levels, hours worked, holidays, work satisfaction – basically a solicitor’s quality of life!

    I really would appreciate any advice before going down a long path that I wish I never started.

    p.s. would a non-law degree background be a disadvantage in gaining an apprenticeship and a subsequent job?
