Career Advice - Feeling Trapped!!
9 Answers
I have worked as a legal secretary all my life. I want to further my career but this would mean doing more hours and taking a pay-cut, neither of which I can afford to do. Am I therefore trapped to do legal secretarial work for the rest of my working days, or is there another way to further my career without sacrifices of time and money?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Thanks Factor30. To further my career I need to pass ILEX or Licensed Conveyancers exams. Law Firms prefer to put law graduates through these exams rather than secretaries and a trainee earns £5,000 less than I'm paid. The firm I am with has bluntly refused to pay for training due to a disciplinary matter from 2 years ago. So, if I want to take things forward I will need to pay for my own evening classes and in my own time or I could stay as a Legal Secretary ....unless anyone out there can think of a different way to solve this dilemma.
