    Hi all,

    So, I should have all 8 of my FE1's (professional law society exams to be a solicitor) done come October. However, there doesn't seem to be many apprenticeships going around, let alone paid one's - fees are around 12k for the 2 years in Blackhall.

    Anyway, I was thinking of doing this:

    http://taxinstitute.ie/CareersandCourses/AITICharteredTaxAdviserCTAQualification.aspx

    or the Tax technician one.

    Much cheaper than the above, and it's at weekends so I could work during it too. Also you have an international qualification at the end of it.

    It says, and I've heard, law grads are good for this kind of thing due to looking at legislation and precedent.

    However, I am wondering are the other aspects difficult to grasp?

    Plus, would it be worth it? Even if when it's done I got offered an apprenticeship to be a Solicitor would the above still benefit me?

    Any thoughts on it at all would be appreciated, thanks!

    Ideally what career path do you see yourself taking in the long term?

    A wise man once told me that as a tax consultant you start out as an accountant and finish as a barrister.
