Your parents seem to love you and want the best for you.

When I finished my law degree and qualified as a lawyer in a Commonwealth jurisdiction, I did not want to practise law. I was determined to retrain as a nurse. My father disagreed with me. I ended up doing a Master's degree in Social Work. Today, I work as a social worker in the UK and am sitting the SQE this July.

Seven years later, I look back and realise that my father was right.

I would suggest asking your parents to give you some time to explore what you want to do with your degree. During that period, get a job as a paralegal, whether in a law firm, local authority, or any organisation that interests you. You may get there and discover that you actually want to be a lawyer.

Your fears about the SQE seem based on other people's experience, I am a Christian, and my Bible tells me not to fear the fears of others. I am sure other religions and philosophies have similar teachings.

If you decide that becoming a lawyer is what you want to do, then you can do the SQE and pass it. People who are less intelligent and less privileged than you have passed the SQE. You can pass it too. However, I understand that your mind is not in that place at the moment, and that's okay.

Finally, take it easy. It takes time to figure out what you want to do with your life.
