Should I bother trying to get a 9-5?
I lived overseas for a few years and moved back to the UK a few months ago. Whilst overseas I was working as a dancer in a gentleman’s club and i’ve been doing that here. My income is pretty stable and fluctuates between 800-1100 a week post tax. I got into this industry due to being made redundant from three jobs in the UK before moving abroad.
Although i’m working, my family are putting increasing pressure on me to get a 9-5 because I need to think about my prospects and my long term career. They strongly disapprove of this job and speak down on it and to me with contempt. I have a LLB and a Msc from two russell group universities, and i’m paranoid that their pressure may be justified and i should move into a career that aligns with my qualifications.
For anyone who works in law, how is the legal job market in the UK currently? Is it worth trying to look or is the market that cooked that I should just continue with what i do now?
