It is really difficult yes. I read a horrifying statistic recently (cant find the link at the mo) which stated that nearly 2 thirds of LPC graduates do not get a training contract! This is a disgraceful situation given the amount of money graduates are encouraged to spend undertaking the course.
I would complete the degree you are doing and then consider long and hard whether it is worthwhile doing the LPC. I would say there is not much worth in worrying about a training contract in your first year at uni! Plus you need to bear in mind that the economic climate will be totally different when you graduate which may mean it is easier to get a tc than it is at the moment
