It’s almost impossible to think of any career path that offers as many opportunities, in as many different areas, as law. You might think that that getting a degree in this field is straight forward, but there are different types of law degrees you can choose from.
What has become a very popular choice in recent times is getting a degree BCom degree that has a law component. What makes this so appealing is that you can enter into many different areas of business, and with only a little extra training can get a second degree in LLB. This is because of the overlap between the two.
With these two formidable qualifications behind your name, the work environment just opens up that much more to you. You can look at some of the following careers:
- Legal advisor
- Corporate (legal) advisor
- Corporate advisor
- Company secretarial positions
- Corporate Governance
- Business strategy planning
- General Management
This is just a very short list of what you can expect to be open to you. And these are just with the one degree. In terms of where you can go from there if you have both is really up to you. Ambition and drive will be the only things that limit you in your career.
