The journey is the reward.

Law at Essex University or Economics at Royal Holloway University?
That is the question.
And I need the answer fast.

Well, Royal Holloway is one of the best Uni in the UK and I got an unconditional offer to study Econs there. Good job prospects and yes, I'm generally good at Econs. I could land myself an investment banking job, accountancy, management...anthing really. Chances of getting a First Honour. High. Well..higher than Law anyways.

Law...Law...law.... my heart yearns to do law. I worked so hard though all these years so that I'm one step closer to reaching it. And now..Here I am...but I think I'm chickening out. I'm not so sure if I could do it anymore. Yeah...I probably can achieve a 2.1 but is that really good enough in this blood thirsty society we're living in now? Then again, education and knowledge will only get us 'that', or if you prefer, 'this' far. If you want to go any further you will need connections. street smart. beauty probably. and most of all, Luck. You gotto be at the right place at the right time talking to the right person.

My parents want me to do Law. They want me to be successful one day. Powerful even. And earn MEGAbucks. Hey...I want that too. But I dunno if i culd get a first.And be at the right place at the right time talking to the right one. Is luck on my side? or is it f*cking about with me?

Help me choose?

1) Royal Holloway. ranked 24 in the UK generally. Econs wise ranked 25 highly reputated. Econs. Something I'm good at. First Honour? 70% I dare say. 90minutes away from home.

2) University of Essex. Law. ranked 36 in the UK and ranked 36 for Law. not as highly reputated but it is a professional degree, right? I'm passionate about this subject and it is my childhood dream to become a Lawyer. First Honour? f*ck knows. Its blinking hard work. Its gonna be painful but it is gonna be danmn well rewarding. Financially. =P and I can sue ppls asses! =)



I dare to dream. Now, dare I live it?
