“I am a law graduate with a 2:1 and passed my LPC in 2008. I currently work for a legal adviser in the immigration area, which I loathe. I made several applications in my interested field but none were successful, leaving me without a training contract.

“I would like to explore other alternative careers and I am particularly interested in lecturing, but I have no LLM and am worried about the fees. What can I do with my LPC? And how can I be sure after investing my soul and money into an LLM that I would be an academic? What are the challenges I would face?”
