Law School Advice?
Howdy folks,
Longtime lurker, first time poster. Having graduated university about 5 years back I'm at a point where I'm unsatisfied with my career path. I've recently started studying for the LSAT and am hoping to write in September or December and see about going back to study law.
I remember a few years back there was a poster who was in a bit of a quandary. He'd been a lawyer for a few years and was finding his work to be frustratingly unfulfilling and discouragingly dull. I know that there are other lawyers who post here and I was wondering if any would have the grace or time to offer a bit of honest advice.
I know that law isn't the sure fire career path it once seemed to be. Competition to get into schools is fierce, there is no guarantee of a job upon graduation, and if there is, you might have to broaden your expectations of what's on offer.
I guess I want to know, is do you enjoy what you do? Is it worth the investment of time and money? Should I just suck it up and work the typical fare that is on offer to me with my Bachelor of Arts? Maybe it seems entitled but the work that I do is kind of boring and I'm pretty sure I could do better but am being held back by lack of accreditation.
Anyway, thanks in advance. Anyone who'd care to weigh in on this will be appreciated.
