Law degree options

    Hi, I'm graduating with a law degree next year, but I feel like I don't want to be a solicitor anymore.

    My question is what alternative careers are available with a law degree (without doing FE1s)? Would I be able to land a job in HR management or banking, or even journalism? I've completed an internship at a commercial law firm in Dublin, but the thought of working as a trainee solicitor for 2 years without actually having much interest in the career puts me off sitting the FE1s altogether.

    Any careers open to me other than solicitor/barrister/lecturer without having to do a degree in a different area? Cheers!

    What kind of law have you studied? You should be able to get an HR job after taking some basic HR training or course with the right kind of law educational background. Good luck!

    Thanks for the response Fatima, my degree is Pure Law. I was actually reading about HR there and it seems they hire law or business graduates for entry level jobs so that's good to know. Cheers!
