💭 "For a long time, I thought that succeeding with a law degree meant following one specific
path. Like many students, I spent a lot of time worrying about work experience, vacation
schemes and whether I was doing enough."

📚 This summer, law graduate Tamanpreet Kaur Luthra completed her internship with the Careers & Employability team at City St George’s, specialising on a project to help law students explore the wide range of career opportunities available to them.

🗣️ From auditing careers resources and creating new content, to speaking with alumni who have built successful careers beyond legal practice, Tamanpreet had the chance to see just how many different directions a law degree can take you.

✍️ While creating resources and speaking with alumni, she found herself learning just as much as the students she was trying to support.

⚖️ She shared, "one of the biggest things I've learnt is that a law degree is so much more than a route into becoming a solicitor or barrister. The skills we've developed—critical thinking,
communication, research, commercial awareness and problem-solving—are highly valued across a huge range of industries."

👏 "Hearing the stories of alumni who have taken different career paths really reinforced that
there isn't one definition of success after studying law. Everyone's journey looks different,
and that's something to embrace rather than compare yourself against."
