Agreed - and you can get a law degree by doing the GDL too - it's actually easy to get a law degree. All you need is a good memory as the exams are just a memory test. I know a lot of people who changed their mind about being a solicitor when they did their LPC as it's much different in practice.So many people see a "law degree" as being this massive status symbol. The truth is that you can get a law degree from anycrapuniversity and end up in a really basic admin role. It's not an automatic door-opener to a magic circle job.
Knowing Grace as we do now, she probably just said she wanted to do her GDL to show off, she never had any intention to do it
