AIBU to consider this a real possibility?
I am just about to have 4th and final baby. I'm almost 39. I worked in law before kids but left ten years ago to raise my children, my eldest is 9. I have just started a law degree with the OU as my existing law quals were/are not a degree and I'm totally out of touch anyway so need a massive refresher. I also did not do 'nothing' work-wise during my career break - I wrote articles for law firms for a few years.
So my plan in 3/4 years is to present myself back to the legal industry by saying I may be old(!) but I have a solid legal background, had the enthusiasm to set up my own business writing articles while raising my kids and have a bang up to date law degree. (I should say, I'm not - or won't be - looking for solicitor/partner roles, more like paralegal/assistant roles).
So AIBU to consider this plan could work? Has anyone done similar? Am I bonkers?
Thanks in advance!
