Only practiced for 10 months and swore never to do it again. I’ve always been good at maths and computer so I switched to Data Science. Find your strengths, combine it with few skills you developed as a lawyer and make a switch.”

It wss that time I said “I’m not learning anything, I will learn from my own mistakes” toripe eleribu ni awon Law firms yen. Law firm wey get website oo.”
