[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering law school at 40. I’ve done the math and financially would be better off than staying in my current job, even with the 3-year earning gap.

Kids are in elementary school, and my partner is a partner at a medium size boutique. He seems to think I would be able to find a similar firm where I could WFH a few days a week, work 1-2 nights a week and a weekend a month…which is what he does. Does he just have a really good set up or is this for real? [/quote]

It sounds like your plan is based on you getting a BigLaw or adjacent job with WFH flexibility (what you're describing is till 60+ hours of mentally taxing substantive work though).

What is the plan if you don't get that? Does the math still work if you can only get a 60k public interest job with long hours in office? A high LSAT isn't going to guarantee BigLaw... there's also grades and Law Review.

I'm curious what you do now. I'm not saying it's not worth it, but it's not clear what we're comparing.[/quote]
