[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have a law degree and experience. You aren't interested in being ambitious and maximizing a different degree. There's no reason to abandon the law. [b]Keep developing your practice.[/b] Move in house. Look for a government or policy role. There are lots of options if you keep looking.[/quote] This exactly, but as a 40 year old lawyer I just want to say I don't know a single lawyer who didn't spend some portion of their 30s wondering why they didn't go into medicine "where at least I would feel like I was helping people." So I vote that OP keeps doing her simple, uninteresting but profitable job and get some experience in immigration or foster adoption or something on the side through training CLEs so that she can pick up pro bono cases. Doing an asylum case every year or two will keep you feeling invigorated and like you have purpose, without throwing your family into chaos by going back to school and changing careers entirely.[/quote]
