[quote=Anonymous]I would say it really depends, but most likely don't do it. When I was in private practice, I met a former doctor who decided he was sick of medicine and graduated from law school in his mid 50s. He was at a NYC firm also but encountered problems when the 26-28 mid level associates were bossing him around like they boss all 1st years. When he pushed back they pretty much fired him. He had sold his practice in Long Island and moved into the city with his wife. One of his kids was also in law school at the time, so he was paying for both tuitions. At any rate, last I heard he ended up going back to medicine b/c he had to pay for his older kids who had yet to launch fully and he had not been able to find another job. if you can find a way to do it w/o taking on huge amounts of debt and don't plan to work in a law firm I think you might be ok, but probably not worth it.[/quote]
