My dilemna is this: I was already in the process of completing my law school applications for entrance in the Fall 2007 class. Then, I was offered a DREAM job! Not dreamy in the sense of wonderful pay and would make me totally rule out the law. But dreamy in the sense of I plan on practicing entertainment law and this is a position working for an entertainment attorney with a KICK ASS REPUTATION. I would be a fool to pass it up. I could learn so much from him. But at the same time, I'm feeling that age clock and want to get my law school studies going even if I go part time for two years and transfer into a full time program to complete the final two years. WHEW! LOL
Sorry it's so long. Any takers? What do you all think? Even if you haven't had personal experience with law school, maybe someoe you know...
ThX!

Flip the script for me and the interest of actual Medical School after a Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics.
I am closing in on 40 years old... Why would I want to be around a bunch of bright kids?
But my field is changing rapidly and I think I can serve more people in a physician capacity with clinical trials.
And that kind of thing you are writing is EXACTLY what your include in your law school application. Because really, they need to justify to you that the education that you are getting will outweigh the "dream job" you'd like to receive. And have you asked your boss about "expanding your education"?
