Have you even been to law school? Even if you have, surely you must be from some third rate law school considering you can't understand that "good" is a subjective term.

Sure or not, then what is the pay like

Is it worth quitting my medical training for Law School?

Currently a 30 year old Singaporean, working as a CT2 core psychiatry trainee doctor in Yorkshire UK , pay conditions are deplorable and colleagues are leaving for other fields. Still have another 1 more year of core training plus 3 more years of higher speciality training, to be fully qualified as a consultant psychiatrist.

Should I just quit my psychiatry training and apply to law schools such as Durham and UCL?

Absolutely not.

There are too many lawyers in Singapore. The volume of interest in this thread versus others is already an indicator.

If you quit now, you still need to struggle through 3 years of law school, bar exams (no guarantee of passing), secure traineeship and get retained. By the time you can think about climbing corporate ladder, you will be in your mid 30s, competing with trainees 10 years younger n without burden of other commitments.

Mental health, on the other hand, is a woke topic that has increased in trendiness especially recently.

Since youre almost done with your core training, just press on. Learn basic invest with the low pay, if you can.

No. U should try to complete the qualification since you're almost there.

If not you have to start again from scratch, and law is not always as rosy as it appears.

If you quit now n regret later, it may be almost impossible to go back. Medical school n training is one of those things people do when young n energetic.

Think of why you chose this in the first place and don't focus on the gloom. U don't have to follow other quitters.

Do you actually enjoy law and have reason to believe you will do well in it? Don't study it just for the money. Especially as a non-Oxbridge overseas grad, you might not get good jobs and your pay and working conditions might be even worse.

Insane. No way should you do it.

There's no guarantee you will land a magic circle firm (which is the only outcome that's remotely worthwhile from an ROI perspective) even if you graduate with decent honours, and you'll be competing with young energetic bright fresh LLB grads half a decade younger than you.

If you don't land an MC or better job, the next and most likely outcome is to return to SG with your tail between your legs and settle for a Big 4 local law firm. And let me tell you, the work conditions and pay as a junior grunt in Big 4 is pretty much on par with a HO / MO in public healthcare in SG. And at 35 years old? I doubt anybody is cut out for that.

You will be regretting your decision to switch for a decade to come.
