Thanks again, to all of you participating in this little brainstorm.:p
More thinking out loud...I'm warming to the idea of a J.D. more as I think about it. The notion of a potentially lucrative (or at least life-sustaining) summer internship occurred to me, and that helps. U of I is supposed to be the best law school in the northwest, why wouldn't regional firms pick up interns there? As far as age goes...I guess I am still relatively young, and in fact would be right on par for entry law students (24). Not exactly lagging the power curve too much. If I wanted more business training I could always take a few more classes and get an A.S. in Accounting or something, (yuck) and that would be much easier if I had a lucrative legal job to sponsor that...
I think I am publicly convincing myself to do this.
Soupbone, I wish you the best in your J.D. endeavors!
And 15%Luck..."a guy" sounds shady. Who is "a guy"? Personally I plan on first taking the FREE practice tests on the Peterson's DoD site, then we will see what kind of prep I need. I've read that the LSAT is kind of like A&I Lit in that you're either good at it or you're not, and any kind of intensive cramming is probably not going to help much.
