What is your career goal? Are you fine with practising in bottom tier law firms? What are your alternative courses? Hard to advise without the full picture.

UK uni grad. Didn’t get any TC in both SG and UK.

Quite common for UK law grads to be unemployed, especially those from delisted unis.

Only Oxbridge/UCL/LSE is worth the risk of spending so much money studying a law degree overseas

Warwick/KCL/Durham degrees are useless because the universities are degree mills. Those who got poor A level results can just apply for a law foundation programme in those unis and progress on to the law degree after that

Which are the best non-law alternative career options for law grads?

Do graduate medicine in the US, it’s tough to enter and quite costly but everything is pretty much guaranteed if you are willing to study hard.

Pretty much guaranteed path to be a medical specialist/surgeon, rather than studying in Singapore.

There’s a huge bottleneck of training spots in Singapore and most of the local medical grads end up as GP.

Surgeons in private practice can earn more than 1 million/year, even specialities like Neurology/Respiratory Medicine can net you least 500K/year in private practice.

Best of which, it’s recession proof and you can keep earning money reliably, as long your skills and age allow.
