[quote=Anonymous]I got my Phd in my late 30s/early 40s and encouraged a friend who is about 10 years older to do law school. She would have been in her late 40s at that time, I think. Anyway, whe loved law school itself althougth it was challenging. However, she didn't pass the bar either time she tried. She said her brain was too old to retain all the info needed for the bar. I encouraged her to try again but she said she would have to spend 6 months not working, only studying and it would be too costly for her family in terms of money and emotional support. She has the degree but is working as a social worker, her former profession. I think she kind of regrets doing it (I think it saddled her with loans). That said, I'm still of a "never too old" mindset. Just weigh the costs before jumping in.[/quote]
