has anybody embarked on a second bachelor's degree right after completing their first?
i'm into the final year of my english literature degree. somewhere along the way i realized it wasn't going to bring me any of the opportunities i wanted. so i am hoping to go to law school when i'm done with it.
if anybody has any advice or similar experiences to share, please do!

surreptitious jon, what degree did you do before and what are you doing now?
Anyone who wishes to become a solicitor has to pass the CPE, or if you want to become a barrister the BVC (Bar vocational course). That is what "law school" is.
IN order to do this you have to have knowledge of the law. Either you can have an LLB or BA that has the mandatory modules in it, or you can do a prelimionary year and get the required legal knowledge. All a qualifying law degree does is exempt you from the first part of the professional exams.
After the CPE/BVC you still need to undergo a trainee contract, though you don't need to have done the CPE/BVC in order to do the required bits of the trainee contract. I'm not qualified by my work counts towards the Law Society required training.
