Well then, in that case ... i think maybe you should stay in BA/LLB.
B.A degrees are quite hard to market in a commercial sense.
I remember taking a philosophy class on epistomology in the summer and thinking ... "you know what ... I could just read this stuff on my own and think about it myself ... rather than getting a degree for it"
I should have just went and did commerce straight ... and maybe tried for honors ... 3 or 4 years
most of my friends who did BA/LLB either ended up being;
i. lawyers
ii. journalists
iii. working for the government (ACCC, judge's assistant/clerk, regulators, policy making functions in parliament etc etc)
some have managed to do well in law getting to higher levels near the partnership rung, and then switching over to banking at partnership level due to their M&A background but this is not common.
Good luck with it, you'll need it b/c law is gruelling. Reading all those cases and legislation ... I became short sighted b/c of law and bought reading glasses for the first time in my life.
All the best.
