Fast forward to today, I didn’t achieve anything remarkable in medicine except for being a long-time GP, which was the main reason why I decided to go back to Law school and become a lawyer. Now toiling in the firm as a junior lawyer in the 40s, while my peers who chose Law back then are the senior partners/my bosses..

Op here thanks for the input. The value of a law degree is diminishing in recent years due to over saturation and in the UK it’s not even necessary to have a law degree to secure a training contract from a prestigious law firm.
So maybe it makes sense to pursue a law career but a law degree itself dosent make the most sense. Additionally, I think money wise specialists make a similar amount with a slightly lower amount of stress than lawyers. Therefore since medicine is also a practical degree to take id be willing to take it even if it’s slightly worse due to my interests
