Despite what Jack Welsh has to say about learning Chinese, I agree with you all. There are far to many nuances especially in China. Brazil was bad enough when I used to do business/live there and I spent 4 years getting accustomed.

I would stay in sales, but just because I am good at it doesn’t help much when the fire is no longer there. Sales is kind of like being in Marines. You are always on the front lines. Some people are made for the Marines. Some are made for sales. I’m probably not made for either. It’s too bad, because I know I am leaving really good money. If it was a monetary decision only, I would probably stay in sales. But you only get one life you know…

Rustico,

I don’t claim to be an expert, but from what I hear there are very few part time law options that are decently ranked.

From what I am told, full time programs limit students to 20 hours per week, and most require no work your first year.

Loyola has a part time program, but they have a reputation of being a pretty good law school surrounded by a lot of really great law schools. Unless in the top of your class your job prospects are pretty slim, or so I hear.

Georgetown has a part time program, and they are in the top 14. I would consider doing that without a doubt. The only thing I have heard, but is completely hearsay, is that the PT grads aren’t taken as seriously as the full time grads by the law firms. I don’t know if it’s true or not…

Anyway, I wish there were more options for a measured approach. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Thanks

heavyd —

I am extremely interested in the law. I took a variety of law classes undergrad and was even pre-law for some time. Heck, I keep up with business law like most guys follow sports. Other than snow skiing I really couldn’t care less.

My desire has always been to go, but I have always feared not being able to support my myself and family, under a heavy debt load. It seems to be what makes many young lawyers unhappy. If I do it, I am going to DO it. No looking back and wondering if I made the right decision. I did that with sales.

While I am very good at what I do, I am miserable. 99% of the work is brainless. 1% of it is great. I love to present and close a big deal, but sorting through the chaff is pure drudgery. Once I have someone with a pulse and the authority to pull the trigger I love to turn it on. I have no illusions that doc review will be pure stimulation, but I don’t think it will be 95% of my day if I can help it… and even if it was, I get into that sort of stuff anyway.

Sorry to give the impression that it was a fleeting thought. At this point I really want to be an attorney, but am looking at it logically before I make a 100k education purchase.

My attempt here was to get a very pragmatic view of of the legal market because there is so much contradictory information out there. My desire has always been there, I just wanted to know if anyone here held the opinion that the legal sky was falling.

I figured there would no better place than among the piggs to get well thought out advice.

I have definitely gotten it! Thanks everyone.
