What career path is best for a person in their early forties?

I am seeking to go to school. I am in my early forties and prefer the legal field. Can any one tell me which career path I should take, in order to fulfill job education requirements within a few years time?

how about becoming a paralegal? It takes a couple of years but the opportunities for a good paralegal are excellent. They earn anywhere from $35K - $80K and that's not bad for a two year degree w/ some elbow grease and a good work ethic and it's a growing field as those of us in the legal profession have to cut expenses in the office to survive. |

I would suggest since your entering the workforce a bit late , id have to say you should study to become a paralegal. |

If you're interested in the legal field, a paralegal is a great option. Or if you are good at typing, check into something along the lines of court recording. Either one should have a reasonable amount of schooling (a few classes to a couple of years, depending) and have good opportunities. |

You don't say what field you have been in, and what your current level of education is.
If you have a bachelors, and want to go to law school, you can do that in about three years -- but plan on being a solo practitioner or starting your own firm as many firms don't hire older associates.
If you don't already have a bachelors, I agree with the posters about a paralegal. Most of them can do nearly as much as an attorney in some firms.
Good luck in your career change. I have been thinking of doing the same myself. |
