Second Career

Anyone embarking on this as a career pivot? I turn 50 this year, mom & wife, and already have a graduate degree. Just started 7sage and feeling sooooooo overwhelmed. I thought i was smart but this is already kicking my ass, so i'm approaching this as though i'm learning a new language - which essentially I am.

So anyway, send some good vibes my way and hoping to connect as I continue along this journey.

    I'm in my mid-30s, with a baby and husband who works in the area (which restricts where I'm applying to as I'm not keen to live in separate cities)... also have a PhD and pivoting from academia (health sciences).

    Happy to connect with fellow second-career folks in a group!

    I'm only 27, but I also have a Master's degree (MBA) and am doing a career pivot into law. I've been studying since November, but didn't get consistent until the beginning of January and am already seeing massive improvement. Took a practice test today and got 4 points higher than my last PT! It'll get easier once you complete the curriculum and start drilling! Just trust the process and stay consistent! You've got this!!

    I'm a physician. Had my 67th birthday last month. Starting law school in September. Go be a lawyer, have some fun. As for LSAT, the 7sage program is superb. Start at the beginning with the core curriculum, take your time, think about it, don't do anything under timed conditions for at least 3 months. It all comes together. It's all doable. And it's freaking fascinating. So have fun with that too.

    We are learning a new language! The language of Lawgic! I'm pivoting from a career in digital marketing — we've got this!
