Stupid
LOL THE MONEY!! Those people are in for the shock of their lives. I have friends who work at FREEHILLS, Clayton utz. TRUST ME .. First year lawyers who are fresh out of university earn less then dentists and even teachers.
My Asian friend at UTS has a sister who went to maq university, works at FREEHILLS and she works long long longggggggg hours. The pay isn't that good either. Not until you can prove yourself. It takes a long time to prove yourself in the legal professio that includes good marks and work experience.
My friend's sister graduated with a HD average in her law degree with honours. And she still found it hard. There is that certain stereotype out there that if you do law you'll instantly be a millionaire. It's utter bullshit trust me. You really have to like law to do well at it, not just for the sake of the glitz and glamour.

You'd have to be getting the university medal with an HD average in law, surelyAsquithian said:

5% of the people might get an HD in a subject, but it wouldn't be 5% HD average overall011 said:

Less than 5%, most of the time. I got two Ds for assesments, last semester, every other assesment got an HD. My friend who's doing law got exactly the same as me in the same three subjects, except she's getting straight Ds in law. Shows that it's more vicious than most subjects.011 said:
Edit: Melsc- You will be jealous of me, I've got 5 day's work experience with an SC. The first two days will be last-minute checks with the client, then conferencing with the solicitors, then presentation in court. I get to see all the good bits

He's kinda a family friend. I think he likes me because I was the only one brave enough to argue with him about several things at this family dinner- (I think this was the order) cameras in court, co-ed classed, and then history as a subject as general.MoonlightSonata said:
Also, I think he knows I'll make a good reader, although not for him (SCs can't be mentors).

I totally agree. It's a bitch that my GPA sees no difference between an HD and a D, though. A lame tutor gave me a credit for an assesment task, which annoyed me. Thankfully the lecturer looked over it and gave it a D. Credits really do damage to a GPA if you're not getting rewarded for getting an HD rather than D...Asquithian said:

What? I think you mis-read.Asquithian said:
re: GPA- At macq, a fail= 0, cpass= 1, pass= 2, credit= 3, d= 4, hd= 4. THere's no GPA difference between a D and an HD
