Teaching in Primary Schools.

There is not much point in training to be a Solicitor these days. The profession has changed so much over the last few years that paralegals are doing the same work . The use of paralegals is driving down salaries for solicitors so it is not even a lucrative profession to enter these days. Also, law firms are no longer financially secure, the one I used to work for went into administration last month. I found the job stressful and unrewarding which is why I have career changed into teaching. I would not recommend pursuing Law as a profession.
