Let me get a quick sanity check from everyone. Would you go to a ok part time JD program (say George Mason University) if it wouldn't cost you much out of pocket? Currently mid-30s in a job that's semi interesting with ok advancement prospects that pays 130k for a normal 9-5 schedule with good benefits. While I like the idea of having a JD I'm not sure how it will directly help my current job or if I'd even enjoy being a practicing lawyer if I left it.

Plenty of people take college courses as a hobby Realize you could pursue literally anything else you're interested in and make sure it's really the thing you want to do with your spare time

Unless your job has told you that your future prospects are limited without a law degree and they are willing to wait the years until you have one, don't. You're already making more than the average George Mason grad.

It’s not going to be worth it if you don’t know what you’d do with it. It only makes a little sense if you keep your 130k job and just go at night. If you quit your job to go to law school you’ll likely never replace that income.

Smoke some weed, get a new sports car, take cooking lessons, improve your short game, learn Chinese, collect coins, learn to program, take community college courses on literally anything. All of those are better ideas than getting a law degree for the fun of it.

blarzgh posted:Waste of time. I guess there is an argument to be made if the cost is immaterial and you don't plan on practicing and want a JD just to have one... if you don't care about rank it's virtually impossible to "fail" law school anyway. Personally, everyone that's asked me if they should go to law school for ANY reason, I've always told them no. It's just not loving worth it. Especially if you're not going to practice.

I mean, he WOULD have inherited the firm had he not been such a disappointing son that his mere existence dilutes the proud brand of George SinkTM. I mean, can any father honestly say they wouldn’t have done the same?

I have to use the rest of my gibill by 2021 or it expires, I'm also thinking of pilot training. The JD would mainly be for personal knowledge as I doubt my company would care one way or another even if it was from Harvard.

Law school is a trial by ordeal with pretty much no actual educational or pedagogical purpose other than maybe improving your typing speed. Why don't you inquire within your organization about what kind of education they actually value? Maybe they actually have a need for someone who can weld or speak Russian or something actually useful or fulfilling.
