12. Why do you want to go?

Edited on Wed Jan-18-06 05:22 PM by in search of sanity

Do you want to become a lawyer? This may sound dumb but actually not everyone going to law school wants to be a lawyer.
I don't think the question should be, Am I too old? Instead, you should ask yourself what you expect to get out of it, how much it will cost you, not only in tuition and books but lost income from your current profession. Is this cost worth it in terms of increased income over the rest of your expected work life?
BTW, I'm an attorney. Had I to do it all over, I would have chosen a different profession.
