[quote=Anonymous]This is doable BUT: Go to law school if you want to be a lawyer. Not for a better career or if you're just bored. You need to truly want to be a lawyer, and to know what that means, and to have a career plan. I did the part-time program at Georgetown; in this area, there are also part-time programs at GW and Catholic, I think. I had a baby when I started, as did several other classmates. Some had 2-3 kids. Some had babies while in law school with meticulous planning. Our career outcomes were generally excellent (federal agencies, big law, etc) but everyone worked very hard. Having an extremely supportive spouse is crucial. I had a great experience BUT again, I wanted to be a lawyer, and I had a specific career goal in mind. I worry when people say they want to go to law school because they're stuck or think they'll make more money (lol) or need to be fulfilled in some way. That's a huge red flag. We did have people burn out in the program because it's intense and law just wasn't for them. It's better to know that before you sink thousands of dollars into it. [/quote]
