With a JD/MSW, you would be a huge find for any agency that works with domestic violence or child abuse victims. You'd be a treasure as a family law attorney. You'd be a find for a prosecutor's office or a public defender's office. You'd be a great probation/parole officer.  You'd be a good mediator. You'd be a good counselor for anyone who is working a drug court or a diversion court.  You'd be good in juvenile court, on either side.

You need a license for some of that, but you can pass the bar, if you want to. If you take BarBri, they will spoon feed you what you need to know to take the bar exam.

Have you ever been assessed for ADHD? It frequently looks way more inattentive, than hyperactive, in women. That might be part of your problem with being unable to focus on stuff that doesn't interest you. [/quote]

Totally agree with everything the pp said (I have a dh, ds and dd with ADHD and now I realize that I probably have a mild case myself). During law school I worked for a small law firm that did tax (what I liked) and family law (father/son firm). Sometimes I had to help the dad with his family law cases and it was tough seeing all of the emotion. He would just sit there going through the file while people were sobbing. Having someone with social work training would be amazing for clients. Don't sell yourself short -- you have amazing credentials. Take the bar, take some CLE and start thinking about what interests you. [/quote]
