I always wanted to study law but in various stages of my life something went wrong. I didn’t do greatly on my A levels (EEA- but I have re taken one since) due to family difficulties and as a result I didn’t go to a " red brick" university. Because at that stage I didn’t think I could cope with doing pure law I completed a degree in Criminology with Law as its minor. I found my lost passion for legal studies whilst at university and I finished with a high 2.1. Many lectures believed that I should continue my education towards law but unfortunately I couldn’t afford to do a legal conversion course (CPE or GDL). As I wasn’t really to completely finish my education at this stage I decided to complete the PGCE (Postgraduate teaching certificate) specialising in Business/Law and Criminology. Unfortunately on successful completion of this course I could not find any full time teaching post ( being in competition with fully qualified lawyers who want to teach on the side) Currently I am working as a Teaching Assistant at a primary school and I am feeling very unfulfilled. I should also mention that throughout my both degrees I have work and volunteer in various legal institutions (working at prisons and at solicitors office) and only recently due to the work at the school I had to stop this. I really don’t know what to do my options are

a) Forget about the dream that I had and just continue working in the primary school...maybe eventually re qualify as a primary school teacher

b) Take a chance for the last time, re take my A levels, take a loan out and do the legal conversion course.

But even if I take the second option what are my chances in having a successful legal career? Please help

Thank you
 
i think your weiner is small but your heart is big and you should go for what you have worked hard for because it will eventually it will pay off and if you dream is not to be well off then dont go for it and be a school teacher and rape children and struggle to make ends meet you sick fool "LIVE YOUR LIFE"
