[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]OP has an intellectual hunger, and she should go for it. Even as a hobby. She will impact all those around her. [/quote]

Unless she is in a l financial situation where she doesn't need to worry about money, I don't agree that she should go unless she thinks there is a decent chance of getting a good job (one that she will be interested and pays enough to support her family and repay her loans) with her degree.  Most people can't spend [b]$80-90K[/b] for three years of an in state law school assuming that they will use the degree as a hobby or to help them be better at a field that they could have gone into without it. [/quote]

This doesn't include the opportunity cost of not earning substantial money for those three years. I'm the pp who went back to school for a degree that allowed me to do more in my field. I went part time over eight semesters instead of two years full time because I would have given up a couple of hundred thousand in salary.[/quote]
