The truth and nothing but the truth of practice There is no ‘one size fits all’ method that can guarantee a good career path but of course it will be an advantage if you know what you wanted to be so that you can focus and work towards your career goal right from the beginning. In order to achieve that, you need to read more to find out or even get some hands-on experience by joining internship programmes which are available in the market. You should also engage with the people who have the relevant experience in the fields that you are interested in. Lastly, not everyone is born with the qualities of a great lawyer. As we always say, ‘work smart not work hard’. If becoming a great lawyer is what you aspired to be (which I still hope I can become one), my advice to all the legal eagles out there is: ‘not just work smart, you need to work hard’. All the best and I hope our paths will cross in the future.
