Is law a respected profession?

- Law is a prestigious and well respected profession in Singapore, alongside with doctors.

I don’t want to get mental issues when I enter law school.

- Then reconsider law school, not everyone can take the stress and workload of law schools, particularly NUS/SMU.

I heard singapore law schools are pretty stressful

- They definitely are.

And only a handful can get first class

- Yes, there is a limit to how many students can attain first class, 2.1, 2.2.

Should I enter overseas law schools instead?

- Depends on which law school? Due to the glut now, many law graduates from overseas are having difficulties securing a training contract.

I am quite fearful of stressing out and will breakdown easily
but I need reassurance of being a profession so that others can look up to me

- I'm sorry to say that law is probably not for you, because of the tremendous amount of stress. A profession that others can look up to you? I will certainly respect you if you are a social worker or teacher.
