    Im currently studying for law exams and im just fed up with everything. I have absolutly no options left in my life. I have a law degree and the only posibility of getting any sort of career is by doing these exams. Iv tried them twice before and failed all 4 the first time and failed 2 out of the four the second time and you need to pass a minimum of three otherwise you fail them all.

    Im just fed up with them and im fed up with my life choices. Iv ****ing options left and i feel im doing these for the sake of keeping my family happy (because they believe if you become a solicitor you are automatically loaded). I always thought i wanted to be a solicitor but i just cant take this kind of work any more.
    I want out but i cant get out because all my qualifications revolve around law.

    I hate my life. I dont know what the point of posting this here is either.

    Stay positive, and hopefully you'll get them this time. If it's not what you want to do, take a break - go travelling for a few months to unwind and meet new people. Then when you come back, decide if you want to pursue law - or if you want to study something else.

    Try not to let everything overwhelm you. Take each burden on it's own merits, and treat them individually instead of letting them all pile up on top of you. You're egtting a good education, and you should be proud of yourself. People fail exams all the time, and it can hurt the ego - but try not to worry so much about it. You still have time to turn your life around.

    I genuinely hope it all works out for you. Chin up.

    You can always try joining military as advisor, or becoming a journalist, or becoming a governmental advisor, or other areas etc.

    Law isn't the only thing open (or closed) to you

    Hey,
    I know exactly how you feel, believe me i've been there, got pass there with the exams and everything got and believe me the place i'm in now is ten times worse then the place you are in! If you don't want to do these exams.....don't do them......don't feel pressurised by any other person to do them because once you pass these exams the road only gets harder and harder, and if your losing the fight already well by the time you get to my stage you will have absolutely no fight left in you.
    Think logically do you want to become a solicitor or is it your parents pushing you? is there anything else you'd like to be? What about a teacher......would you be able to go back and do that? What about a journalist, would you like to write about law for the papers? What about travelling? Have you done any, would you like to do some? Life is full of choices....you just got to sit down and think about them. These exams aren't going to disappear and its not life or death whether you do them now or in a year or two!
    So give yourself a day and sit and think about what YOU want.....sure if you'd be just as happy working in a shop then do that! At the end of the day you only live once and you should always do what makes you happy.....I'm sure your parents only want you to be happy too :)
