IT IS REALLY STRANGE

法律这行是比较辛苦，但是如果楼主有学习的天分。有喜欢这一行，尝试一下也没什么。但是不要为了学习忽略了孩子。

I am 36, woman, have a 3 year old, and just finish first year JD. Going
to law school becomes a very complicated decision when you have a family and
not young anymore. I finally did it because I really wanted it and I
knew I would regret if not doing it. Finance and child are two major
problems. Law school is extremely time and energy consuming if you want
excellent grades. Excellent grades is the ticket to get into large
firms. The bigger the firm, the higher the salary, which also means you
don't get to see your family often. Even in law school, I worked my
butts off and I rarely saw my daughter. If you cannot even overcome
this sense of guilty, you are probably not suitable for large firms. Always know what is most
important to you in your life. Good comprehension of English and
understanding of culture are necessary to success because law is about the interpretation of "word" and application of the legal theories to real life situations. I have lived, studied and worked in Canada and US for 9 years before starting JD. I could hardly imagine how difficult it would be for someone who has never lived in English speaking environment.

My short suggestion is, do what you heart calls for, but prepared for this enormous challenge. Do not let "age" intimidate you.

如果你不尝试一下，可能就没机会了，如果你真的想去，很想很想，就不要让别人告诉你可不可能，要自己找到答案，其实选择是最难的，而不是真正去做，蚂蚁啃骨头一样，一点一点的。如果成功了，别忘了和我们分享一下哈，如果失败了，也要分享，告诉我们你的过程有多精彩！我qq405654958一个毕业了还没找到工作的女生，需要鼓励的时候尽管说哈别客气。哦对了，我也是学法律的，希望看到你的精彩，那样对我们学妹们就是最大的鼓励了

先准备考LSAT，看看自己行不行。 很容易这关都不过然后放弃。

我也是女生，25岁读JD,28岁毕业，同年工作，已经结婚但是没有孩子，一路常青藤，big law, 道路算是顺利，干扰也很少。但是这条路真是不好走！！！ 相比来说，考试读书的压力算小，最辛苦的是工作时的压力-每天回家都已经是深夜，完全没有时间照顾家庭的。如果有孩子的话真的是对孩子不公平。 钱也不是挣得那么多，缴税交了一半，还要给纽约昂贵的房租。 女人如果年纪已经不小，还兼有家庭和经济的压力，再加上现在经济环境不稳定，这条路不值得走。

我一个客户35,是个警官,一样决定去考JD,人各有志,追求不同

凡事三思而后行

先自己考虑清楚是不是还有别的更好的选择。

34岁的年龄，在国外永远不会被认为是大， 特别是如果你打算读完在美国定居的话。Jack Welch的前妻在他们离婚后就是在四五十岁去读法学院的。

34的年龄，读完如果打算回国，确实要考虑到很多风险。国内情况比较复杂。
