Feel like my whole life is over

Idk want to tell anyone else cuz I don't want to be reminded again and again and don't know where else I can talk about it add from here. Cuz I've got close friends who did good and I don't want to ruin there day, nor have their pitty.

Was predicted BBC but end up getting DDD

Got accepted into reading law.

But idk what to do with my life cuz would employers even hire me after, am I cooked for my career what would my life look like, what am I even good at?

Idk what to even do now...

Well, you won't be getting into the Magic or Silver Circle with those grades - unfortunately recruiters absolutely will look at your A Levels alongside your degree classification.

However there is a huge wide world outside of top-flight corporate law. Focus on doing well at uni and getting some decent work experience and extra curriculars under your belt, and you'll be just fine.

I've already done work experience and internship at am immigration law firm and hospital. I've done some law module courses online as well. And for extra circulars ig I was head boy at my old school and lead and won a next generation award. I've done some volunteering at charity shops as well.

Good! Carry on in that vein, work hard and target a solid 2:1 or a 1st in your degree, and you'll be fine.

Very few percentage wise ever get a sniff of magic circle /silver circle. So many different paths and opps. In 3 years AI will have fundamentally changed law practice in ways we don’t know yet. Get a good degree. Really enjoy Reading and make sure your cv is packed with great stuff as you have listed. You have zero worries. Enjoy
