This wise person sounds like some of the wiser people I know too! Hard work does pay off but during the hard working bit sometimes it feels real crappy!! We just have to stick it out I guess!!

I'll look into it. Theres probably more law students/graduates in London too! I can't say whether you're at a disadvantage... rather you might be in a better position. Either way, my wisest friend has always maintained that if a person stays determined and works hard, that person will get to where they want to (eventually). Fingers crossed! ;-) Thanks for the link Poonam. I’ll look into it.

Have a look at the www.open.ac.uk site, it has more detail on it! I had online tutorials every Monday evening (except a few every 2 weeks) and then 6 assessments in between as well as the end of course reading/writing and speaking assessments. It sounds a lot, it can be, but its good to do something different, for me anyways. I think the whole course has changed now to be more flexible but I'm not too sure. There are way more job (and tc) opportunities in London compared to Leicester though :( Yeh my course is distance learning, I would never have done it if it wasn’t for my friend who works there (and is the owner of this site!!), and who sorta encouraged me to do it.

I was thinking of taking up spanish again but have no time to actually attend classes... I'm trying to work out if distant learning language courses would be a good option to consider. Any views?

You could also try and make a few contacts if you can. Hopefully you impress him/her and they want to take you on! Fingers crossed for you! Training contracts are even worse than gold dust at the minute, it's so unfair!! That’s good to hear! 3 months is enough time to impress the sole practitioner!

No luck with a permanent job yet. :roll: But starting a 3 month contract next week with a sole practitioner. Should keep me occupied for a while. I'm trying to work on getting myself a training contract but no idea how to get one of those... xx I’m okay, thanks.
