I qualified as a solicitor last June at the grand old age of 29 before moving to become a partner at another small firm. But things have not worked out there and by the time I leave in June I will have only have been qualified for a year and will be one of those ‘jack of all trades, master of none’ solicitors.
I still enjoy law but seem to have reached a mid-life crisis at 30! I never took a gap year and would love to see Australia; at the age of 30 it is my last chance to apply for a 12-month working holiday visa there. I have made some enquiries with recruitment agencies in Sydney to find out whether or not they recruit English solicitors for temporary legal work but haven’t had any success.
