I'm a 29 year old and doing the same. For me, as much as I'd like to quit my job and study full-time for the LSAT, I can't because I decided I'd like to keep my apartment downtown and don't want to move back home with my parents. I'd need to keep my full-time job. Despite having been at the top of my classes in my undergrad, I had to take a break from the LSAT diagnostic test because it's been a number of years since I had to use my brain 'academically' and it took me 1.5 just to do 1 section when I went in completely cold. I plan to resume LSAT studying once I finish a project management course I'm finishing to get promoted for work and I'm going to give myself the next 1-2 years to try to get a decent LSAT score and get into a decent law school. I think it's important to know your purpose and motivation to pursue a law degree and be steadfast with whatever circumstances you have to juggle. I just try to remind myself it's not a 100 m sprint, it's a marathon and so even if it won't happen as quickly as I'd like to, it's okay! I think giving yourself a short-term and long-term timeline to work with with realistic study schedule would be good! Since it is a marathon, keeping a consistent pace is really important and learning to just enjoy the run itself! :) Don't give up!!
