I have heard many bad things about law as a profession here but that goes with every other profession I believe.
Now, write your hearts out. Give whatever gyaan and good advices you wanna give.
Thank you.
The floor is all yours.
But, I wanna ask about your mental health. Is that got deteriorated because of the law career that you are in/were in or for some other reason?
Thank you Sir/Ma'am.
But, don't you think that Law is a social instrument that we can use to change societal norms and behaviors? So as students of law, are we not supposed to try our best to make the worth of our legal education and bring change in society, especially in workplaces?
I have read and heard that many self-made senior advocates treat their juniors well and also pay decently and help them grow in their life. Can't we be like them?
Don't give too much importance to law.
Nowadays, even in govt jobs you have to work a lot hard for some 40-50k or so.
Yes, I got your concern that Litigation pays peanuts. But, what if I get into a Top 5 NLUs then work really damn hard and land a good in house role then I think I will earn decent and have a decent life and may be try for judiciary exams.
Degrees like b.tech or MBA or MBBS will help you get a foot through anywhere in the world. Any job. Any place. Even if you're average. Hell, even merchant navy or hospitality management or air stewardship is more in demand than law. Only way out is if you're the 0.1% in law, been abroad or have enough to finance being abroad.
However, if you join law today, you will at any cost have to finish the five years to gain something. I don't want to discourage you, just trying to tell you that at the end of the rainbow you may not find gold.
If you still want to pursue law desperately, go only to the top 5-6 law schools and geniunely work you derriere off; build connections, do great internships, focus on studies. It's tough. But all the best 👍🏽
But, when I did arts, I got 92+% in 12th from WB State board. So, I am quite happy with my performance.
Btw, thank you for showing some positivity regarding my plan of studying law.
I had 94% in Science.
I am not saying that you're from CBSE or something. Just saying for a fact.
Lastly, vernacular medium education is tough.
Did you leave your job to pursue law?
Paisa milega at least
Don't get into litigation
EVER
AT ALL
Paisa, health, sanity, khushi: sab kuch ek, ek karke khatam ho jayegaIn fact, in most cases, simultaneously khatam hoga
BTW, paisa maa-baap ka, coz you don't earn here
To ja kar le
- main akela kyu pachtau
