Just got accepted to do an MA in History - legal history. Going to start part time in September, and see where it goes.

Something I've always wanted to do, and with my wife in school / articling in a year, I'll have a lot of free time. Not exactly cheap - but not pricey either. And it may turn into something more if I decide to go for a PhD in a couple years.

Kind of a spur of the moment thing - but it'll be cool to get back into a classroom again.

Hey, Walrus! I think that when I was on this site last, you were in law school (right)? How did that work out; are you leaving the law now or what? No judgments here; I'm doing the same thing myself and thought it might be cool to chat with another recovering attorney.

I'd figure out a goal first before going back to school. It ain't cheap.

I really should go back to school, but have zero motivation. I am honestly glad to be done. Don’t get me wrong, I loved college… some of the best years of my life. But it ain’t like that anymore. Juggling life at 32 is a little different than at 18.

Reason I say that is because where I work they will pay for 97% of your college fees. Basically everything except books, I believe. Even if I wanted to go back for something completely unrelated to my job, they’d still pay. I could go back and get a Bach in history, or teaching and they’d still pay for it (not that I’m interested in any of those things but just as an example). Pretty fucking cool if you ask me, but I like what I do so and have too many other things going on to be able to fully invest into it.

I wouldn't want to be on either side of anything aboriginal law related

School teachers make real nice living in Alberta especially in a smaller, cheaper cost of living community (ie not Calgary or Fort Mac). Best part - June, July August :lol:

The important thing is that there's somebody to sue.

I didn't think this thread could get anymore depressing.

Apparently I was wrong

AF threads can always be more depressing.
