Re: Is not too late to start law school at 40?

Okay, now it's been 8 years since this question
was first posed. I am now 39, mid-career
(marketing for big brands) and completely burned
out with what I do. I've always thought about
practicing law because everyone in my career said
I'd be good at it. So here I am, wondering what
law school is like at age 39 and what a former
poster asked, how is the quality of life and pay
post-grad?
