What made you become a lawyer? What do you like best about being a lawyer, and what do you hate? What does a typical week look like? Do you prefer private sector, or local/state/federal government work?
I ask these questions because I am thinking about a change in careers, and litigation has always been of interest to me. I work with Commonwealth Attorney's and the District Attorney's office on some cases and I get a lot of job satisfaction in that area of my job. I don't hate what I do now by any stretch of the imagination, but I know I'm young enough to make a drastic career change, and old enough to know that I have goals in life that I'll never meet if I don't obtain a degree in a field I am truly interested in, and use it.
Maybe set an appointment and talk to the folks at Liberty...
I ALMOST did the JD/MBA thing at Darden years ago... glad I didn't in hindsight.
I've got an appointment with someone I work with regularly in Miyares' office to talk to her about why she decided to do what she does, and what made her pick govt over private.
Liberty is an interesting place to interact with as a non-student. But it's certainly somewhere I'm going to take a look at and talk to for sure.
When my younger brother went to law school, I asked him the same thing.
His answer was "Have you ever seen a broke lawyer?"
LOL.
Soon after, my youngest brother went to law school too. I didn't ask him why, I knew why... Because the other brother did it.
Both practice in different areas of the law. One owns a lawfirm and is a personal injury atty., and the other one practices business law.
Begs the question. Are either broke?
🦫
No. Neither are broke, but the one who owns his own law firm is much more fluid as far as money.
They both tried to get me to go back to school and get a law degree, as I already had a master's in criminal justice, it wouldn't have taken as much to get a JD, as it would starting fresh. I just had had enough school, and being a lawyer never appealed to me.
There's more important things in life than money. Being able to live with how you get it is one of them.

IMHO... Liberty is one of the least "Woke" schools in America... that is why I would suggest it over Darden, Wharton, W&M, U of R et al.
Regent University School of Law is also has a good program if you could stand living in Virginia Beach... My lawyer went there and he is a M***** F*****
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I completely agree with you on that. It's a great school. But I've got some stories that'd make you blink lol.
Maybe not "you" blink, but some folks anyway haha.

They don't call it "Lynch" Burg for nothing...

I thought about being a lawyer once I left the Air Force. I instead opted for a MBA through Liberty University, as I told myself I was tired of lying after being a weather forecaster for 22 years. In all honesty, I’d love to have done it, but was not in a place where I could just up and leave Alaska to attend law school in the lower 48 at the time. I’m happy where I’m at in life and I bet I have a lot less stress than if I had give to law school.
