Date: November 20th, 2015 2:27 PM Author: Dark Supple Tattoo Mad Cow Disease I graduated at 30. I was a few years older than all of the other first year associates and even a few of the mid levels.

Date: November 20th, 2015 3:31 PM Author: Dark Supple Tattoo Mad Cow Disease Sure. I was lucky and things turned out well. That being said, I do wonder if I would have been better off doing an MBA instead.
What are you doing now? |

Date: November 20th, 2015 3:34 PM Author: Appetizing Orchestra Pit Working in policy in DC. Not a lot of great opportunities I don't think. I have a very strong academic record so going back to school makes sense.
Thought about MBA too but I'm shit at math. |

No real room for career advancement I don't think. Will try to apply for good jobs this next year and if nothing works I think law school is my best option. |

Date: November 20th, 2015 2:36 PM Author: Histrionic business firm trump supporter no one wants to hire a lawyer in their 20's. you very obviously don't know how to do shit. being older makes it so clients will trust you easier. you also will already have a family and ties to the community, so you're not starting from scratch there. you know how ridiculous a 26 year old sounds when he says "i'm a lawyer"?

Date: November 21st, 2015 1:54 PM Author: Cruel-hearted vigorous hunting ground I'm only 30 and I feel like I've been in law for decades. OTOH, in some ways I feel like my career would have had a better trajectory had I started later and not as a young shithead. That initial trajectory is so important in law that it almost makes sense to delay it until you are in the best position to succeed.
