[quote=Anonymous]The legal field is very uncomfortable with people who are non-traditional. It's ironic that the legal field is the one who fought against discrimination on age/sex/race.... and yet, traditional legal fields (and even non-traditional ones), are quite rigid in who they will hire. They envision the late 20-somethings being entry level and they often cannot imagine supervising someone older than they are (this is not unique to legal employers). I would strongly encourage you to do some investigation of places you might like to work and then meet with people to find out more about the pros and cons of those types of jobs. Ask who they hire (i.e. what experience do they have to have). To be totally honest, I think you might be better off getting a paralegal certificate.... but, if it is totally for your enjoyment and you don't care if you are employed... you might as well do the degree.
