[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, PPs. I do not have a pile of money to burn. I don't need to make a lot of money, but I do need to have something to do for the next 15 years or so. I don't want to get a degree, then do nothing but volunteer work either.

Feeling stuck right now. Mid-50s SAHM is not a good place to be when trying to go back to work. I've always been interested in law. When I was young, people told me to "follow your bliss." I didn't listen then.

Bucket list? Not really. Just thought it would be interesting and maybe I could work for a few years at a low-paying but somewhat interesting job. Pipe dream? [/quote]

I’ve never heard anyone describe practicing law as being “blissful”.[/quote]

No, but I was interested in law when I was in my 20s. I didn't follow that interest, which seems a shame to me now. Maybe I would have hated it, but I wish I had tried it. A good friend went to law school and loved it. It suited him. I think it would have suited me, but I chose to pursue another career, which I was good at, but didn't really love. [/quote]
