Every time I get into a discussion about this with my family, I do not have any answers to their practical and much warranted questions like - How would you manage in a city like Delhi and all by yourself? Or whether you would be able to make it on the whatever little salary they would offer?
I am afraid that if I join any place on the basis of their recommendation, I would be looked down upon and since I am just a beginner, I know I don’t know many things which people might expect me to know.
So should I just choose a chamber on the basis of the recommendations given by my father or am I being foolish by opting to choose to go on my own way, and working for a small law firm?
