8. So, I think I may have had an epiphany ....

.... I think I may enroll at the local tech college's Paralegal program.

I was supposed to go to law school. Took a bunch of pre-law courses as an undergrad.
Wanted to be the next Gloria Allred but got waitlisted at the schools I applied to and had a child coming out of kindergarten that needed a 'stable mom' .... which is how I ended up in IT.

Now that kiddo is a senior in college, and it's time for me to get back to doing what interests me, what I do well, and a paralegal can certainly work for nonprof's/public defenders and other community based groups - at this point in my life I just need to pay the mortgage, not feed/clothe/educate a child as well.

Tuition at the local is affordable - my big problem is that I never seem to finish what I start.

Thoughts?
