In areas such as government, politics etc?
Most politicians, I would say, have studied law at university... Including our current and former prime minister.

Having said that, apparently Paul Keating didn't study anything lol.. not even tafe.

Very.

But of course, a degree ain't the be all and end all in politics. I did my stint in politics, after years and years of wanting to become a politician - didn't feel it was for me, then decided that I'd go into law. :)

i think most people that do comm/llb co the llb for its attractiveness in terms of employment
Would it be useful to do law and then straight away go into the finance/commerce industry?

P.S. dd24 your signature is no longer funny and is a major eye strain dude!!

Julia Gillard did law, but KRudd didn't - he did First Class Honours in Arts (Asian Studies).

you get far in politics if people like what you want to do, and what you beleive in, => funding
