The average law grad now cannot start out or get into a Big 4 and then subsequently move onto international. Temper your expectations and do not assume that just because you did well in JC/Poly, you will do well in university and the workplace. Prepare for the possibility of working in a small firm. If you are still game for what that entails, then choose law.

Even if you make it to Big 4/international, be prepared for incredibly long hours and drudgery without the intellectual stimulation which characterised law school.

Nonetheless, if you find gratification in producing a high quality piece of work, in strategising (for the aspiring litigator), and in giving precise advice to others, you might find a lifelong career in law.
