Honestly, you will never be short on jobs if you invest your time in learning outside of the law. There is a demand for e.g legally trained people with excel skills, just that you must have the initiative to pursue these skills.

These are all truisms - just like a legally trained person who has coding skills, baking skills, karate skills or flying skills can be a entrepreneur, baker, martial arts instructor or pilot.

What if you're a run-of-the-mill individual who just fell into the legal profession because results were good enough to get into law school but has no other special talents?

Besides in-house counsel or P&I club claims handler (for shipping lawyers) what other white-collar, non-start-up exit options are there for law?

Times Higher Education latest world ranking ranks Oxford #1, Cambridge #2, Harvard #6 and NUS #22

The Times / Sunday Times Guide ranks Cambridge #1, Oxford #2. In fact all major UK rankings (including Guardian and Complete) rank Cambridge #1 for consecutive years.

In light of this, how reputable is a Harvard LLM against a Cambridge LLM and Oxford BCL?
Assuming rankings are a good indicator

Ah an underemployed KCL troll coming out of the woodwork. I believe Grab is still hiring (drivers that is, not in-house counsels).

Here comes another bitter Kings troll...

Well if you are good in the first place, you won't need to rely on connections.

Hi all I graduated from the University of Exeter with a LLB (Hons) 2.1 in 2017. What are my chances of obtaining a TC with the Big 4?
