At least you're thinking this through -
Considering all your options. Trying to make a goood decision. That's the best you can do. You'll make the right choice. Even if you don't, it will be an interesting experience.

Kasthu, I think you just answered your own question, and that it's worth
investigating law schools. Somewhere in the application process, if it's meant to be, you'll probably know if it's really right for you. Somehow, I think people like that come into our lives with strong messages like that as guides, for a reason.
At least think about it. I'm investigating grad school in counseling, and going back to school at 46, after getting my BA 20 years ago in Russian, there's been a lot of life experiences in between, so hopefully I'll have something to offer as a counselor
Good luck.

Shalom, Shathi Aum, Amen! Law school for a nice, analytical person like you
I wanted to become a lawyer, but our minister was afraid in the old South Africa, I would be put to rot away in jail. So I ended up teaching...which I like, but in USA LAW is crucial to the justice we ordinary folks want, and sometimes cannot afford like the wealthier ones. Your prof. earned your respect. You know if you will be able to help yourself and others in this field...if that desire is strong, it is worth the time and studying. No one wastes a law degree, even if they work in another field (like teaching). You are barelyinto your twenties...it is the lawyers who are fighting to remind the Bush Admin that we have a Constitution and Bill of Rights for all, even those we ourselves have come to hate or suspect of hating US. Happy, happy Thanksgiving to you and your's. You are a shining Light. Neil Ypundeo
