Hi everyone, how are you all doing

So I would be completing my Diploma in English this year and it's time to apply for degree courses in the national public university application system (that covers the application process for courses in all public/government universities in the country). I may be graduating a bit too late to be applying now, but I have found ways to get around that.

I mainly plan to apply for Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) courses, English courses or English lingusitics courses as I am most comfortable learning them. My plan is to hopefully be able to move to a more LGBT-accepting country by my 30's and I think these courses are (hopefully) flexible enough to get a variety of jobs, whether in education (if I'm doing TESL) or in the corporate world. If I'm doing TESL, I may further my education and complete my Master's degree to improve my chances.

Though, there's still a small part of me that hopes to get into activism or politics to improve the conditions of human rights in my country. So I'm also looking into taking a law degree/LL.B. I plan to enter public universities as they are way more affordable to study in, but the two universities that offer law in my state are the two most prestigious universities in the country. There will a lot of competition, especially from applicants with better qualifications than my Diploma. I also imagine that studying law would be quite stressful. And if I choose to move to another country anyway, I would probably need extra qualifications to practise law there. So I am also considering to apply courses in Anthropology, Administration, Political Science or Policy instead of Law.

So my (astrological) question is, do you think my chart shows a person fit to become a lawyer, or even a politician?
My birth data should be in the forum archives.

The field of law has many different forms. A law degree can be used for many different things. So it's almost too generic to ask if you could benefit from getting a law degree.

However, two separate studies show that Libra Suns are the most common among eminent lawyers, so you're off to a good start! I would suggest you pick an area of law consistent with the rest of your chart, and especially your Jupiter-Neptune square - and it seems you're already moving down that path.

I don't know what the qualifications are in your country, so I'm going to (irrationally) presume that the path to licensing is essentially the same as in the U.S. (I know it isn't, and I know some of the variations in Southeast Asia and places like Shanghai, but I'll go with the best I've got.) You seem to have the type of mind to absorb the information (there's a lot). You have just enough Saturn to sludge through the significant amount of work.

So.. yes, sure, go for it, and do some public good!

Thank you so much Jim for your reply

True.

I don't know what the qualifications are in your country...

I believe the process in the US is quite long...in (Peninsular) Malaysia, there are a few ways, but if you're getting your law degree from a public university, you don't have to take any extra examinations, and upon completion of the 9-month long pupillage, you'll be ready to be admitted into the bar (if I got this correctly).

Hopefully

Thanks again, Jim
The final semester of my course will be a 12-week internship (begins in May), and I might be interning under a human rights organisation in the country, so I might be coming across lawyers and law student interns. Hopefully that would be enough exposure to be sure on whether to get into law.

Sounds like you have a good plan to move forward. I agree with Jim - go for it.

Thanks, Jupe
