I think one of the 2 biggest truths that current or prospective law students need to know is that you realistically only have a 20% chance at breaking into a grad role and that law has an immense opportunity cost. For context, I'm currently a 5th year law student at Macquarie Uni. For starters, 10% of law students actually end up working in law. Since most people do law as a double degree (only met one person doing a single law degree here), let's just assume that half of law grads end up working in something related to their other degree. That means you roughly have a 20% chance of actually breaking in. Obviously this doesn't actually account for individual circumstances and there are load of things you can do to push yourself in the 20% beyond having good marks (like networking and volunteering at a local legal centre) but you still need to confront the truth of the matter. I think a lot of people don't realise the opportunity cost of law. Compare a single degree to your law double degree, by taking on the law degree, you are spending an extra two years at uni and roughly 20k HECS debt for domestic students (with a multiple more for international students). In those two years, you could have been working in your other field of study for, lets say 70k per year. That means the true cost of a law degree, based entirely on numbers, is 160k. That might be worth it to some people and is especially worth it if you do want to pursue a career in law. It is however one factor that must be considered. With that all said, spending that extra time in uni has really allowed me to mature and choose my career (which happens to not be in law lol). Ultimately, I don't regret the journey but I wish I had found what I was looking for much earlier.

Hey I am wondering if you could do a video on the LSAT?

Hey, I am looking to study to be a family lawyer but how and where do I start? I a, looking to study part time on line, is this worth it? I also heard you need ATAR to be able to study law, is this true?

Amazing video! I’ve decided to work towards enrolling in a Bachelor of law but have to wait until I finish another course. I was wondering if you have a textbook recommendation suitable for beginners that want to prepare? Thankyou!

Hi! Absolutely. It will depend on where you study though. Like, if you were studying at QUT ( which is in QLD) , I would recommend: store.lexisnexis.com.au/products/laying-down-the-law-11th-edition-lexisnexis-australia-skulaying_down_the_law_11th_edition However, if you were studying in another state, like NSW, you may require a different textbook as laws on how to interpret and apply them may be different. The book that I recommended though is fantastic for a start

Hey! I'm going into a double degree in law and arts at Deakin in Melbourne and I'm just wondering how to balance work during the degree with the workload and everything. Were you able to work part-time during your course?

Hey girl! First of all, that's amazing! Go you! Secondly to answer your question, absolutely you can. I work part-time whilst also studying law and journalism. One tip I would give you is to find a good workplace that will give you the freedom and time to study when you want. For example, with my job, I ask for Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays off which are strictly dedicated to my study and let them know I can work any other day. Luckily my job is a tourism job, so most work happens on weekends and holidays. If you can do that and make a schedule that works for you, I'm sure you will absolutely smash it! Good luck with your studies and I hope this helped :)

Could you please tell if it is worth studying law in Australia for an international student?

Absolutely! If you learn in Australia coming from overseas, you are likelier to have a better graduate outcome than someone who just studied at one university in their state. Employers will look at this as a positive and will definitely help with finding a job in the law field later on down the track. International learning is always a win. Also, Australian universities are really helpful in terms of learning. You'll come out of it feeling like a genius in your field. Hope this helped :)
