Re: When are you too told for law school?

No link required. 26 is the correct number. [/ QUOTE ] Thanks. It was an automatic response from hanging out on BS-ridden fantasy football boards. If anyone feels like sharing, what job are you currently performing with your law degree? Private practice, business/corporate law, public interest, other fields entirely, etc.? If anyone wants to share the story of their legal career I'd love to hear it. |

Re: When are you too told for law school?
I currently use my law degree as decoration in my poker room. Even if I decide at some point to not play poker for a living I don't ever want to become a lawyer. The most possible use for the education may be a college professor somewhere down the road.

Re: When are you too told for law school?
Once you reach 30+, you'll realize how foolish it was for you to think that 25 was too old to start *anything*, let alone going back to school.
A friend of mine just graduated from law school and she's 29. I don't think it ever crossed her mind that she might be too old when she first enrolled. |

Re: When are you too told for law school?
My dad started law school when he was 55 and apparently kicked ass in it. This is according to my mom who started law school at the same time (she was 25). My mom is incredibly bright, but I can always sense a hint of jealousy when she talks about her and my dad in law school b/c she busted her butt, while it came so easy to him and he was also quite an intimidating speaker as well.
Of course my dad never even went to college until he was 40 and eneded up being a college professor, PhD, CPA, and later JD. You are not too old. X |

Re: When are you too told for law school?
If you're worried about it, go to a school with a night program. You will find that the vast majority of people in such a program are older than you.

Re: When are you too told for law school?
My dad looked at least 15 yrs younger than he really was, so the age difference never looked to other people as dramatic as the 30 year actual difference. His law school classmates all thought he 40 when he was really 55.
And yes he was old enough to be my grandpa, in fact his "first batch" of 4 kids are all at least 20 years older than I am and he had a grandkid older than my little brother. My mom claims she just got swept off her feet by him and they were happily married for almost 25 years. X |
