3 Questions: What was your day job and how long did it take you to finish? What are you doing with your law degree now?

Thought about doing part time myself; currently a full time student.

My biggest recommendation would be to choose the school wisely. Loyola and Tulane are just not worth paying sticker unless you know you can finish top 15%. And you can't know that because law grades have a lot of variance.

If I were in your shoes, it would be LSU or bust. Tier 1 and not too expensive. You can finish ~50% in your class and still do well with your current background (and not be in a ton of debt).

It took me 4 years to finish, which is the plan for that program. I went every summer to ease the load at in the fall and spring. I also took a couple of 8AM classes to give me some nights off.
I was the controller at a hospital for the first year; that was too much, so I stepped down to internal auditor, which, there, wasn't a hard job. I never practiced law. I was in-house counsel(one of them) for a hospital company for a while, and then went into other ares of administration. I teach accounting and economics now.
The first year IS the hardest year, and then the second.
