warbird said:It is a tough way to make a living. It is no road to guaranteed success that's for certain. I would first think of the skill sets you have and what you enjoy doing. In reality there are many things one can do with a law degree besides practice law, but law school is far less flexible than MBA's and such as it requires class, either full time of part time at night. It is a tough way no doubt. The first semester especially, the first year pretty tough. If you make it through the first year, it isn't so bad. However it is a lot, lot of money, student loans every month remind me of that.
Many people get law degrees with big money in their eyes and find out later they hate it, some just didn't practice the right thing, some just hate it in general. There are enough attorneys in my house, I'd rather shoot guns. I'm a recovering lobbyist, yes my name is Warbird and I am a lobbyist. I need a sponsor. I guess if I were to ever practice law, I would have to consider patents with an aerospace degree and as a former pilot, that besides government relations which may or may not be practicing law, would be my natural fit.
If you have some natural link between what or who you know and what you could do that is the best scenario.
Some wise counsel there Warbird. Welcome to the Lawyers in Lids Room. Some shiraz?
