Op, are you a guy or a girl?..

If you are a girl, locate festus keyamo, bang the hell outta him(I hope you are beautiful) because the guy na oko ashawo.. Whe n he gives you the job, create controversies and confusions that only you can solve, look for one politician to expose, pretend to be good and you will be the most sought after... Abike Dabiri did it, senator Chris Anyanwu that publisher did it, and so can you.

Even I kilode100 did it

Good luck!!

I woke up this morning with a lot on my mind. So much that I didn't know when tears started rolling down my cheeks.

I am getting frustrated. To think I did everything right in school to ensure I left with with a 2:1 grade. I ask myself ,where did I go wrong? To make matters worse, my family members think all is well since I am a "barrister".

I am slowly beginning to regret my decision to be a lawyer. Though I am still serving as a batch C corps member,I get scared. So scared that I may have to take up work in a firm that pays 15000 naira. God knows I have tried. I have sent out more than 200 applications, yet nothing!

Which job recuitment site have I not signed up with? This was not what I envisaged for my career when I was being called to bar. Even in the midst of the mass failure of my set, I bagged a 2.2 from law school; still nothing to show for it. I know people from my university that graduated with 3rd class now working with top law firms.

Well, I have been told to stop wasting my time by applying for associate jobs on the websites of law firms. The reason being that they rarely employ lawyers anonymously. It is mostly through recommendation or connection. God knows I really want to practice law, but the job is not forthcoming. I have my rent to pay, bills to take care of and cannot survive on 15k a month after 6 years of going to school. I am open to suggestions anyways.

Someone even adviced I start a business or learn a trade! Yes, that's how sad it is. Many may feel am overreacting. All fingers are not equal. Family members and friends I thought would be able to help out are now giving me the cold shoulder. I have cause to be worried since I am solely responsible for myself now. I can't even bear the thought of going back home to depend on my parents. If I had known it was going to be this way, I wouldn't have wasted my time and resources becoming a lawyer. What's the point? I am still looking and bringing myself to apply to firms.

After december, I may have to think of something else to do.

Law and Medicne are overrated in Nigeria, the stress is less than the benefit...unless u plan to relocate.

Wanted to study law, but was discouraged it's not worth it. I'm sure I will have easily finished with a minimum of a 2.1 in both uni and law skul.

Put in for a 4 year course and I'm earning my cash. My mates dt put in for law are still eida in law skul or serving, when they come to the labour mkt, and they come to my industry, no advantage, they become my junior, even in the public service, they put them on grade 8

Start doing courses that will feed you well, not that will give u title. Don't impress your parents, they will not feed your children.

By the way, you are still serving. You can't get paid for what is compulsory. No dey give yourself grief.

tolusan:
You sound like a wounded lawyer. With the way you said you would have made a 2:1 IF and only IF you studied Law, I hope you made a 1st in the course you studied...

tolusan:
Let me analyse some of the things wrong with the bolded portions in the order that they appear:

1. you are still serving, that presupposes that you're currently working. Why not be grateful for what you have now and trust God (if you believe in him) to provide for tomorrow.

2. never allow fear in your life, it paralyzes you. Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real. Who told you, you would take up a job in a firm of 15k?! Even if you did that isn't your bus stop. No one should despise little beginings and honest labour.

3. How hasty of you to conclude, in less than 3 years at the Bar, that you have nothing to show for your hard work and industry in school.

4. Don't live your life watching other people live theirs, Live your life!

5. I strongly advise that you change your company. you have the wrong advisers. I delibrately pick my friends, friends who are headed for success. Let me boast; there is no top law firm that in Lagos, and by extension Nigeria,that i don't have a personal friend or a friend of a friend. Change your company!

6. You see, don't ever depend on anyone. people don't help sometimes not because they dont want to help, they just don't have the means to and you can't blame them. I try as much as possible not to tie my destiny to what men can do for me, rather I look to God and trust him to use men to favour me. gerrit?

7. No dear, you're responsible for yourself. The person who gave you the privilege to be alive today is the one responsible for you. Look to him. If he can bring you this far, then I dont think he's incapable of providing just that opening that you need.

Cheers

Sir, i'd like to know how u acquired these contacts of yours, how you got to know them. I'm a law aspirant about to write my post-utme(wish me luck). Obviously, i don't know how the world works, have'nt gone out much. Would love to start building a strong foundation as soon as possible. What do u advice me to do to get on the right track and make it?

linasparkle:
FYM u ckd ve easily made 2.1 indeed. Point of correction they re placed on level 9

Dhotseal:
Spoken like one of those lawyer wannabes who didn't make the cut. She needs encouragement, so if u dnt have any to offer, just bug off. I am a lawyer, and i am certain I earn more in a month than u make in a year. So, it got nothing to do with ur 4yrs in uni...depends each person's will to succeed.

I made a first class in a Federal school. I was an art student, but at the point of selecting a course, changed my future plan, based on advice. I never chose law in any form. Go and face your books.

let me wish you luck in your forthcoming exam. Well, I'm naturally inclined towards people, I try to be courteous and respectful all the time and I go out of my way to make friends. For now I think you should focus on dusting the exams and hopefully when you make it to Uni. there'll be fertile ground to mix and cultivate a network of friends...
