Quite apart from the fact that one who decides not to remain in the legal industry after one's PTC ends cannot be truly said to have practised law, arguably there a former practising lawyer would bring along certain perspectives/insights/qualities that would appeal to organisations, even if his/her substantive knowledge might not be applicable?

I got called and never held a PC. I earn an extremely low salary now.
That said, I have friends who have done very well for themselves with ineligible law degrees (recognised uni, grade too low) as in house counsel. I'm not sure why I failed to land any such roles despite being called but the lesson and answer to your question is, it doesn't really matter.
