[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, this is the OP. I started this thread in 2018! It's closing on four years ago! I read through it because there was an encouraging post on it I liked and remembered.

For anyone curious, I had a family crisis, which derailed me for a while, but things are better now, and I'm going to school to become a paralegal. The classes are easy, and it seems interesting enough. I hope being a paralegal is more challenging. It's far too late for me to go to law school now, sadly, and I don't have the $300K it would cost to attend Georgetown or a similar school I would likely have attended in my 20s.

Re-reading this thread, it's surprising to see all the lawyers blithely accepting age discrimination as the way it is, while at the same time it's illegal discrimination, yes?

Doesn't your law license require you to uphold the law? You're all saying it's OK to break the law, and isn't that technically a violation of your license?

I don't know, just asking, as it seemed surprising from this perspective.

Good for your for finding a path and not giving up.

FWIW, Alan Greenspan did not finish his PhD until he was 51. So, follow your dreams (smartly, of course). It is never too late.[/quote]
