I have an LLB and an LLM in Law but I can't afford to qualify as either a solicitor or a barrister. Either would take about 3-4 years and cost me a minimum of £30,000/$50,000 which I don't have.
I'm not in any way an exceptional graduate (got 2.1 on both degrees but in this day, even a 1st class isn't much unless it's from Oxford or Cambridge) so I can't get any kind of funding from anyone other than a bank which will happily charge me something obscene like 18% interest each year.
So I figured I'd try applying for anything related to Law (from paralegal to office assistant) but alas, the two responses I ever get are "over-qualified" and "not enough relevant experience".
So my fellow "brothers-in-law", share you horror stories of being unemployable in the field you busted your ass in for 5 years only to be worse off than when you started!
