Is there any hope? Am I too late?

Am I too late in trying to pursue a career in law? I have so many regrets in my journey.

For context I did graduate with a 2:1 in law but not from a great uni. If you’re wondering why that uni its because I wasn’t able to do my a levels because of Covid. It’s the only option I had because of my crap grades (for exams I didn’t get to take). That’s one regret I have that I wish I resat year 13 but I didn’t care at the time.

Throughout uni I didn’t really care about Law, I was never passionate about it I just studied it because I didn’t know what else to study. Never done any TC applications, vac schemes, internships, open days etc.

I did graduate 2 years ago and since then I had some work experience at a high street firm which was ok I enjoyed it a bit. It’s only until very recently I done a week at a very good city law firm and enjoyed it a lot and I’ve realised this is what I want to do. In this type of firm doing commercial law.

This is why I’m asking if it’s too late and if I have hope. I wish I did things differently to make my path easier and better my chances but I guess that’s life. Be completely honest as well I’m not gonna get offended.
