Let me say a thing or two about those trying to become lawyers after 35 years old. So what if you make $100K after graduating law school, most lawyers only make $30-50K. Especiallt the ones going to touro, queens college, hofstra. Mostly on the lower side of the scale (of salary) for these schools. So do you really want to part with $120,000 over 3 years of law school, or how about give up 3 years of pay. Do you plan on working til your 70 years old? Lawyers rarely get retirement plans, only 401K and a match maybe of employee contributions. So unless your loaded and want to work for another 21 years after graduating instead of retiring at age 45-50,don't bother with law school, its not worth the return on investment. |

I've seen your posts on a lot of different message boards. You seem like you have a real axe to grind, my friend. Who retires at 45 anyway? I plan to work well past that age in a job I find really challenging and fulfilling (hopefully in the law). Are you just upset that you didn't choose to take the plunge and go to law school? Or did you just get really crappy grades at school and can't find a job? You should really check yourself.
