    What's your advice to international students looking to come to the UK to get a PGDL. Do you think they have a shot at getting a Training Contract?

    Congratulations! I have a question:
    Nevermind, the personal growth you achieved through your somewhat turbulent path to law, do you ever wish you just took the law undergrad instead of an extra year for the GDL?

    • @mistamontero
      @mistamontero  Рік тому +4

      Haha! To answer your question, no I don’t wish I studied law at undergrad. I’d rather do it as a conversion course for a shorter amount of time.

      Minorities quotas don’t cover the people who have ACCESS to these jobs? Even if there is a quota the likelihood of a diverse application pool is slim - not everyone can afford paying for further education/has contacts. People work their arse off for a seat at the table just for stupid comments like this.

      @@MsStarface123 You couldn't be more ill informed. I can tell you've never worked in the industry. So keep your irrelevant opinion to yourself and get some experience. Once you've done that, you'll realise a lot of things.
