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.
