late 30s and want to become a lawyer?

I’ve always wanted to be a lawyer, but was a single parent for last 16 and been raising my children. Now I have the time, but feel life has passed me by. Is it too late to go to law school and become a lawyer or should I just consider it a dream and let it go at that. Thanks for all answers, please no dissing answers, seriously need to make life altering decision as this would affect my children as well.

I would say definitely go for it. If being a lawyer is truly one of ur passionate goals, then don’t back down and see time as a deterrent. It’s never too late to make a life altering decision..as long as your willing to set the time aside to make it happen. Best of Luck!!!

Go for it. Don’t let your age hold you back. Think of it like this – one day you’re going to be, let’s say, 45, do you want to be 45 and a lawyer or 45 and wondering if it’s too late to go to law school? Seriously, don’t let your age deter you. You are not old. My mother went back to school for her doctorate in her early 60s. It will be stressful and time-confusing, but it will be doable. Find a trustworthy person to help you with your children.

You’ve spent 16 years being a single parent, now do something for yourself these next few years. If you manage your time well and you’re careful not to take out any of your stress on your children, this could be a positive experience for all of you. Go live your dreams. We only live once. Good luck.

Sir, I am a 24 year old grad student and I take several political science courses and I see several non-traditional students in my classes. The age range goes from 19-45. When I grade papers and assignments the older students do better because they know how important getting an education is in the real-world. Go for it, just do it. You will be fine. Good Luck

. bypass the bachelors degree and get everyday right into a regulation college. in spite of the fact that in case you will possibly desire to attend at a Caribbean island. it particularly is the place each and all of the recent docs are going for their tiers. Get going. you will rejoice with it. it somewhat is a blast to artwork at a city criminal experts place of work.
