Thanks so much Kathryn. I was browsing the web and looking for some questions I had, such as “Can you have a family while first year lawyer?” and your post from Washingtonpost.com popped up, really it helped me feel more relaxed, I plan on going to law school within the next year. My fiance and I were concerned about how law school would put a stop to a future family, having kids before I’m 30 is my dream, but anyways, I wanted to thank you for the post, because it just shows that you can balance it all and that nothing is really “impossible”. I hope the best success in your near future law career.

Hi Kathryn,
I have been in PR for 10 years and have thought on and off about going to law school for many of the same reasons you mentioned in one of your blog posts. I would love to hear your thoughts on your decision, what it’s been like and any helpful advice you can give me on making my own decision. My fears are that I will drop out of my (relatively) successful career, incur thousands in student loans, and then not be happy, either, as a lawyer (although it seems like something I would really enjoy). I also worry about eventually having a family with such a demanding career (I’m 31 and married). Any thoughts are welcome!
Michelle
