[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are independently wealthy and literally have a pile of money to burn and are bored all day long, sure.

If not, you would absolutely be crazy to do so. [/quote]

This. And I will add that if it’s always been your passion to do pro bono work or work in social services, etc. then sure. Follow your dream. If this a career move, then absolutely no. If you think age discrimination is alive and well, I’m not sure why you think any other profession would be different [/quote]

OP, I'm guessing that you haven't read about the glut of new lawyers who cannot get hired. Law schools are producing many more graduates than there are jobs. New lawyers are forced to take poor paying jobs that don't even require a college degree in many cases and cannot pay back their debts. We're talking baristas with $150k+ in debt Also, thanks to AI and other technologies, an estimated 96% of paralegals will be out of a job in about ten years.

Only do this if you do not need a job or are fine with never actually using this degree.[/quote]
