Huh?

Jesus Christ, why? Don't do it that's a terrible idea.

Hoping to get a job at an environmental law non profit is the type of idiotic dream someone who is twenty and an idiot has while in college. Those jobs go to Harvard grads and people who have masters in horticulture or whatever, not jobless sixty year old dudes who demonstrate incredibly poor judgment and an inability to hold down a normal job. "Environmental Law" doesn't exist in the real world except maybe to review contracts between Generic Oil Corporation and Montana to help the client avoid liability for oil spills. And that's if you are super lucky.

Also what do you think a lawyer gets paid at entry level in Wisconsin or Vermont is whatever backwoods yokel hovel you want to live in? I hope you have a sizeable retirement, and assets to keep you afloat for the next six or seven years, because you aren't making money until then. If you read the thread like you are supposed to you would realize that working for ten dollars an hour at the local Starbucks instead of burning three years not working and accruing debt is the way better choice financially. And I say better because most successful lawyers would rather make tacos or coffee for a living.

If you have thirty years experience then you should have much, much better choices than going to loving law school. Instead of hoping for the one in ten thousand chance of getting a poo poo paying lawyer job at some non profit, work a normal job and go volunteer at the zoo.

Also are you married? Because you won't be by the end of law school.

Jesus Christ, this is a terrible idea.
