Jumping in, HELP!!

[susitna1]

I am wanting the degree mainly for advancement, but I also have always wanted to be a lawyer (not a defense lawyer..ick!). I would love to work as a mental health advocate once I retire from my current profession. Its very sad to see habitual criminals recieve so much help and watch as the mentally ill are left to fend for themselves.

From what I have learned about law school admissions, I think they really want to see a good LSAT score, the rest is how you present yourself.

My oldest son is about to graduate high school and it's becoming harder for me to argue for him to continue his education when I haven't finished mine, so there is also the hypocrite factor thats driving me.

I wouldn't mind getting a CJ degree, its an area that I have knowledge of and interests me, I just want to make sure I can use it once I have it.

And yes, that was my post at degreeinfo, I have been all over the internet researching and asking questions, I'll post the CJ question over there too.

Thanks for the advice!
