Basically to succeed in law studies is interest? Eventhough one is capable, and etc. Hardwork is of course very important but the first priority is interest and passion?

What if a family want their child to be a lawyer in the family but one have no absolute interest in law to begin with? Just for the sake of the future and so on. Nothing is impossible but then, w/o interest to start with... Eventhough one is capable. Is it a right thing to go, for the child i mean? Is it possible, just to please the family?
I want your humble opinions on this situation. I think this is the right place to ask. Please, what do you say? |

QUOTE(minshuen @ Oct 23 2010, 08:53 AM) this kind of situation has always been happening.still the same answer,interest should come before other considerations when you are choosing the path of your future.erm.. the child really does not like to be a lawyer at all? The child have no absolute interest in law and also does not have the intention to be a lawyer if one were to complete their LLB and CLP. The child is me  Added on October 24, 2010, 3:15 am QUOTE(KiyoshiJoz @ Oct 24 2010, 12:52 AM) my humble opinion is.. Law is indeed interesting, i have to admit. But i do not like it. My mother too said the same thing what you've said, "Eventually you will like it." Yes, it is true that having a LLB as my degree definitely secure my future. However, i do not enjoy studying it. My college life too seems dull. Everyday attending to class, my heart seems heavy. My coursemates come to me and asked why so quiet most of the time.firstly.. do not loose heart that it's not what you want to do.. take the LLb as a stepping stone.. the LLb opens up a bigger path to many many other things.. parents want's what's best for us agreed? take it seriously (the course) after that, decide on what you want to do.. explain to them with facts and details don't just go to them and say "I want to be a cook" explain why hopefully they understand why. the LLb course is a good subject in the sense that it helps you think critically its one of the subjects where you are not required to be a robot.. there is no yes/ no answer.. It's all gray area its how you persuade and argue your case.. you can take it positively and think what you can get out of the course who knows you might even end up liking it (= Is it possible for me to succeed in my studies if i go on like this? Most of my coursemates are very determine to be a lawyer. Lecturer even asked me why am i here if i've no interest in it. This post has been edited by M@Y: Oct 24 2010, 03:15 AM |

QUOTE(jhong @ Apr 6 2011, 12:13 AM) Lols....hahaha, thats what i was told I like reading books. But not law books. Though most cases are interesting like in those movies. Yeah, most of my classmates really dedicated in researching and arguing case to case. Wow. Now i have to buck up. , but it basically means you must make sure you get some readings.  Added on April 14, 2011, 2:24 am QUOTE 15.0 Can a candidate who fail to satisfy the 2 principals in one sitting requirement for STPM or its equivalent sit for STPM or A levels after his or her law degree in order to qualify to sit for the CLP Examination? No, because it does not apply retrospectively. The candidate must have entered the law degree either with the required result or as a mature student. If the candidate does not satisfy this requirement then the only option would be for the candidate to appeal. As of 1st January 2008, there has yet to be a successful appeal. Honestly, i'm taking this dangerous risk. Another classmate of mine is also taking this risk. 3 years of Pre-Law in A-Levels, really is suffering and fed up. No one else to blame but ourselves.

I think not. I have known one or two classmates who previously took Canadian Pre-U and now they suddenly decide to study law. So, Pre-Law or A-Levels.

QUOTE(aodhwulfe @ May 5 2012, 05:24 PM) Hi there, I am new here and I am not sure if this topic has been raised before in the past. Hi, mate. Which batch are u? I would like to ask for advice regarding which university I should choose to transfer for my final year of the UK transfer programme in Brickfields college. For direct application we have a choice between Hull, Northumbria, Aberystwyth and Hertfordshire. I am not sure regarding the pro and cons of each uni and would like to ask around before coming to a decision. |

QUOTE(rexus @ May 5 2012, 10:58 PM) I thought they also have Cardiff, Reading, Liverpool? Not direct, but they do help us apply to the university that we desire, though must also apply UCAS as well. But i must say direct application is much easier. |
