Take a step back and look at your life. Can you put in mega hours? Maybe you'll be 45 when you graduate, but you're a divorcee and your kids are grown so you can dedicate your life to the firm. If so, let your circumstances be known. Remember that prospective employers can't ask about your home life, but you're always free to volunteer the information. Older workers are often more set in their ways, so employers sometimes fear that they can't be molded or trained as easily.
Some older employees also find it awkward to accept assignments or direction from younger supervisors. But age really is just a number. Find a way to get it across to prospective employers if you embrace every newfangled gadget your kids bring home and listen intently when your year-old neighbor tries to explain something to you about which you know nothing. Otherwise, you might want to stay in your current profession, because there's a strong chance that the lawyer you'll be reporting to will be at least a few years younger than you are.
They've taken at least a few years to think about it. So the odds are that about three out of every 10 applicants striving for the job you want will be at least close to your age and facing the same obstacles.

I came back to the U. Then I learned that nobody would rent an apartment to me because of the bankruptcy. And nobody wanted to hire a year-old woman who had been self-employed for several years, sold everything, moved to Mexico and went bankrupt.
And I cried. A lot. Letting go of the idea of retiring was easy. I met many retirees in Mexico and they were bored out of their skins. But, I did need to save for the old folks home and dreamed of owning my own house again. Post by taxman » Fri Mar 02, pm.

I have been working in institutional equity sales job for the past 16 years and have just been laid off. Banking was great when I was young. I was making big money at an early age, I got to travel, wine and dine etc.
I always wanted to go to law school when I was young but just got lost in time with the whole banking thing. My career was going too well in my 20s, so much so that the oppotunity cost from lost income would have been too great had I quit to go back to school. Even if I go to t14, I may not get a job at all.
I actually really enjoy studying for LSAT and I believe I would enjoy law to a certain degree probably more so than most lawyers. What do you think? And that is what I do not want. Any advice is much appreciated! Last edited by Anonymous User on Tue Feb 27, am, edited 1 time in total. Re: Should I go to law school at age 40?

For similar reasons, the lifetime expected value of a legal education is also commensurately lower. So for it to be worth it, you would need to reduce the amount of investment required meaning money, since the time-aspect is not negotiable , and you would need to do some honest introspective forward thinking to determine whether you would be happy accepting marching orders from some something year old at work once you finally started actual employment in this new career path.
You would be forced to endure this despite the fact that you very legitimately may be better informed and qualified in some aspects at this young supervisor's job than they are. If all this is more attractive to you than any alternatives you can imagine, then you should feel comfortable proceeding.
At the end of the day, it really is a personal decision, and you know yourself and your wants best. She was like my second mom until we had a falling out. At my alma mater CUNY, many of the students are over CUNY has a night program which allows students to work during the day and then go to school at night.
Age can work to your advantage since you have more life experience. This will be attractive to potential employers. If you have the grades and the desire then by all means go.
