[blindlaw] career transition to Law...

[Rod Alcidonis]

Anyone with a job right now is a lucky person and, anyone with a law job 
right now is a fortunate person in my view. This is a terrible market out 
there to gamble with one's prosperity. Don't do it! I had a guy in my class, 
he started law school at 53; he will be graduating at 56 this May. He left a 
good financial job to do law school and he is now looking at the same market 
that I am looking at, a young man under 30. Sad.
