An email I received yesterday:

“Hi,

I have just left my job as a trainee solicitor – I want to become a teacher instead. I notice you are seeking a career in law.
Would it be possible to meet you for a fee less than 150? – e.g. for a half hour appointment? Hopefully I can give you some advice on getting into law as a favour in return.
M***”

I’m not sure if he was asking for a reduction in fee, or he wanted to pay for half an hour, have the half hour booking, then give me “lawyerly advice” for another half an hour. Yeahhh, not going to happen Mr. Man, not least because nowhere on my site does it say that my goal is to get into law. I did say that I’d like to talk the hind legs off a donkey if I happen to get as clients, any lawyers, solicitors or anybody else involved in the criminal justice system. But no, trading time for “advice”, from a trainee solicitor who’s leaving the profession to become a teacher anyway, isn’t really the direction I’d like to go in.

To be truthful, I’m not sure what I’d like to do when I grow up. I’d like to see what opportunities are out there when the time comes.
