Talented litigators can make a lot even if they set up a shop in Chinatown, if they're known in the market as being good advocates (and with the benefit of not paying thru the nose for rental in some prime office space)
But liti is a more level playing field. The cream of the crop will be doing Senior Counsel work and commanding SC salaries, and the average ones maybe can barely get by comfortably after paying overheads and staff salaries.

If not retained, re-take while working part time. Apply again after you pass. It's a long road, but don't lose heart and try to see it through. Giving up now means all the past effort goes to waste.

No. Do you honestly think a company want to retain someone who cannot even get on with the job think it necessary to tell supervisor about his/her problem? What are you expecting? For your supervisor to say poor thing and sayang you? You are paid to do a job. Unless you have been performing consistently that give u some sort of leeway, colleagues are generally not that understanding.
I have a colleague whose work is substandard at best, cries/throw tantrums at work and takes leaves. Whenever the colleague tells others about problems/ailments, what I feel is just plain annoyance and annoyance and think he/she trying to gain sympathy.
Please ask yourself. If you are a boss, who do you rather hire? The one who cannot cope and struggling and make his/her struggles your problem or those that trudge on?
