I am a mum to a 2 year old and am thinking about re-training as something. I've been in executive search in the commercial real estate sector for the past 12 years and hate it. I started my own company about 8 years ago and it was good in the beginning but since Covid it's been a really hard slog to make any fees. In a prior life I was an estate agent but also hated it. I had a traumatic teenage life and parents split up just before my first year exams of A-level so I completed an Access course and degree when I was mid-30s (I'm now 42) and got BSc Business 2:1 from a Russell Group uni so I know I've got it in me academically. I feel like I'm wasting away my life doing what I'm doing. Is it too late to become a lawyer? Would anyone recommend being a commercial property lawyer as I 'm thinking this would go hand in hand with my career to date? We are in the regions where I hear work/life balance is a bit better than being in London so I can still be with my toddler sometimes...
Any help would be gratefully received. Thanks!
