Student Profile: How She Made the Career Change to Law

[U.S. News]

After seven years as a general surgeon in New York, Jasmine Brooks was fed up with hmos that rewarded primary-care doctors for not referring patients to specialists and disciplining them when they did. In 2006, she enrolled in law school at Southern University in Baton Rouge, La. Not sure she had the drive to "give it my all," she signed up part time while teaching health and sciences to pad her landing. She didn't tell her mom and sister what she was doing "in case I failed." Brooks, 39, emigrated from Vietnam as a child; now a full-time student (though still squeezing in time to teach), she expects to graduate in 2009.

I spent 3 years living in the UK. It is fairly easy to find a job if you are dedicated and hard-working. The UK visa is the hardest part of the whole experience but I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

These days its too difficult to have jobs in UK. Specially if you new to the country and do not know much about their culture and their life style. So i would recommend you to make some online contacts there , that may help you out there when you would plan to move.

I completely agree with woodkevin0, there is a dearth of jobs in the United Kingdom and its even more difficult to find a good one that suits your skills.
