Got a 2:2 and don’t know what to do
I’m about to graduate from Reading Uni with a 2:2 in Law, and while there are some extenuating circumstances (I suffered from a bereavement and financial difficulties in my second year, though it’s no excuse) and some minor legal experience, everything feels so lost right now. I already know there’s no point aiming for a TC with my grades, but even “lower” roles like paralegals or legal assistants want someone who has at least a year of prior experience, and living in a big city means firms aren’t exactly short of options. My question is where do I go from here - should I keep applying for these roles, give up and enter another field, or is there another way? I really do want to pursue a legal career but it seems impossible to get through the door without the magic 2:1.
