    It's not the end of the world: here's how three people filled a gap between law school and starting their training:

       

    "I did a year at the International Bar Association doing human rights work. The internship was a great experience."

         

    "I worked as a substitute teacher until Christmas and then went to Vegas on holiday. I got offered a part in a Vegas show, and then I played poker for four or five months, and then worked on a film over the summer. I guess it might not work out the same way for everybody..."

           

    "I work for Chambers and Partners as a researcher. It's turned out to be very interesting interviewing top lawyers and their clients. I never imagined I'd learn quite so much about the profession and I think it will help me a lot when I start my training."
