[quote=Anonymous]I am a lawyer (class of 1996 from a top school), and my DH is a lawyer too. So I feel qualified to speak on this topic.  We are both fortunate to have good jobs, but many of our law school peers do not.

Do NOT go to law school in your 50's.  I would not even recommend it in your 40's.

Although OP knows of an older man who is going to med school in his 50's, that is completely different.  Doctors are in high demand, whereas the field of law is totally over-populated.

The good news is that unemployment is very low (is it down to 4%), and companies are hiring!  You can build a career starting now!  You already have a bachelor's degree.  And you sound smart (if not super confident).  As long as you dress in a stylish way, don't joke about your age, and do the job well and with confidence, you can succeed and advance!

It is a myth that SAHM's cannot reenter the workforce.Now is a great time.  Just do it!(How about even working as a bank teller and then advancing in a bank?  I know a SAHM who started out that way and really advanced at the bank.)

(Also, our good friend went to law school at 52, just graduated a few weeks ago, and cannot find anyone willing to hire him. :-() Not work the time or money.[/quote]
