I want to try out IPR/Media laws but haven’t been able to secure any internships in that field. The idea of a counsel practise also interests me, but I don’t have any personal contacts and the counsels I’ve applied to at BHC have been reluctant to take me on as an intern.
How do I decide if a particular area is right for me? What do I do if I get an offer from these two firms I’m interning at in the future? What if I get stuck in general corporate but get bored as I did in the previous internship? Will the money they offer be a good enough reason to keep me going? There’s so much uncertainty and anxiety around this, any help would be appreciated!
