However, I realised that the nature of the auditing industry is similar to that of the legal one - long working hours etc. I'm really in a dilemma.. Also, isit really that hard to get a training contract? If i fail to secure one directly after graduation, is there anything i can do to get one? eg. work a few years in the industry as a paralegal before leveraging on working experience to land a training contract
Maybe before we answer your questions, you could provide the rest of us with a little more context? What were your motivations for applying to law school in the first place? You mentioned that you were worried about the long working hours and the current job market. Surely, you knew about these things before you applied. Why did you decide to apply?
