Anon at 2:55pm makes a strong point.

I obtained a 2:2 from an ex-poly and made the decision aged 23 to do the LPC anyway.

This required a loan, a part time job and the hope I would be accepted. I did not realise that acceptance was pretty much automatic as long as I had the loan.

My only route towards qualification was to get a job as a paralegal at a small firm and prove that I wasn't still as stupid as my degree classification suggested.

It was my risk. A decade on I am yet to decide whether it paid off.
