Soror, I finished lawschool June 2004 so I will comment (although I am no longer in lawschool). The only question that I think that you should ask is whether what you want to do requires a JD. If it does, you are going to lawschool regardless so the next question will just be what *type* of lawschool will be best for you. If it does not require a JD, then determine whether you want to be a paralegal. You can get over the test hurdle (and the single parent hurdle). The bigger picture is whether your life goals line up with obtaining a JD.
On a seemingly related note, I was 27 when I went to lawschool and had another career at that time so pm me if you'd like to discuss going as an older student, changing careers, various lawschool challenges for non-traditional students, etc.

Is law school anything like that dang test? My degree is in business is that a disadvantage? Also last question. I am a single parent and want to take my son with me, do any of you see non-traditional students doing well in Law school...(30+ in age) I am determined but I am scared to death of this test. I read a lot but that test....Lawd help a sistah out!
