[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tuition reimbursement and the future of high-billing patent attorneys aside, I wouldn’t do it at your age and in your situation. It’s only worth it financially for you if you go into Big Law, and even in the best of circumstances, it’s an exhausting job. I started law school, with a PhD in the hard sciences, at ~31. I’ve had a good experience in big law for 10 years. BUT, I can’t imagine having the energy to grit it thru the first few years at a firm if I was the age I am now. If your were some combination of younger/miserable at your current job/very poor compensated, then maybe. [/quote] If YOU were... Also, if you go to law school and work in big law you’ll hate any typos you make and obsessively worry about them. If you really embrace big law culture you’ll enjoy pointing out other people’s mistakes on an anonymous message board. [/quote]
