[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 40.  I have a JD (never used) and an MSW (been working as a social worker).  I have been working part-time for the last few years in a non-clinical social work role while I SAH part-time with my young children.  My youngest is going to Kindergarten next year and I'm ready to go back to work full-time.

I graduated from a top law school but never took the bar exam for various reasons.  Social work was a better fit for me.  I'm looking to change careers slightly and maybe try to incorporate my JD somehow.  My area of specialty/experience includes working with the elderly and individuals with disabilities.  Being a geriatric care manager really appeals to me as one possible option.

I think too much time has passed from law school for me to go back and practice law now and take the bar exam.  I don't remember anything from law school.  But if possible I would like to make use of my JD that has been collecting dust for 15 years now.

Any suggestions for me?[/quote]

Maybe you could become a divorce lawyer, an elder fraud investigator, a long-term care planner, or a financial planner who specializes in helping affluent but messed up families with their finances. Or, maybe you could set up some kind of law firm service bureau that employs people with neurological disabilities. Example: Set up a social media promotion firm for law firms. [/quote]
