Hi John,
As you are aware i have law degree , as CD describes above, and as you know hence llbh - LL.B (Hons) i completed it in very adverse circumstances.
Year 1 brother, 36 y old goes into a diabetic coma, cousin 35 admitted into hospital a week later, both die within a week of each other, weeks later. I spent a part of my first year studying in an ITU.
In my final year mum diagnosed with terminal cancer, dies 3 weeks after i graduate, dad dies 10 months later. I really wanted to get my degree, and did get it.
One of only five in my year to finish ( i did it in evening classes)and one of only 3 to get an honours degree. I did not go into the legal profession because of circumstances at the time. Do i regret if? NO not at all, it is a great degree to obtain and will provide you with a very useful set of skill sets for the rest of your life.
So whatever you do i say finish your degree, enjoy it .
Best wishes David
