Hi all.

As it says in the title really. Mid 30s, was a police officer and was moaned at even then for being "too worried" about the legislation side of things. Have always been a bit of a nerd for legislation and generally have a pretty good working knowledge of how the law works - especially criminal law.

My ex is criminal defence solicitor, and when she was doing her degree and a lot of her training I used to help her a lot. I did a lot of her LPC revision and prep with her as well. I understand its a slightly different system now - SQE?

I have a 1st class degree from an RG university (in an unrelated subject), an MA from an RG University and an MEd from an ex-poly. I have fairly average GCSEs and A levels- not sure if that matters? I'm currently an assistant headteacher. So, generally, my CV is pretty good (I think).

Is there a way for me to make the change now - where I wont be taking a massive pay cut? I'm currently on just under 70k - could probably come down to about 40k without having to sell pictures of my feet online. Understand if thats not realistic.

Is there much a thing as paid training, or apprenticeships? Could I immediately start working as a paralegal or similar, or do I need to pass qualifications first? Is the PGDL essential? Would anywhere take me on and pay for me to do that whilst working/training?

Sorry in advance- understand thats a lot of questions!

Hi all - hopefully this is allowed.

I am visiting soon (from the UK) for 4 days as a solo traveller.

Do you have recommendations on places to visit? I have already booked Kruja castle, and will also visit BunkArt 1 & 2, and the House of Leaves.

I am interested in history, so if you know any cool museums, or something similar that would be great. Anything which is specific to the Albanian experience of WW1 and WW2 would be cool, as I like to learn about this when I visit new places.

Also - any good places to eat, for lunch and dinner? I would prefer to avoid tourist trips and would like to eat authentic Albanian food. Any budget.

And what about things to do at night? I am not really into night clubs - i'm too old! Just nice places to walk, or activities to do?

Thanks in advance!
