Me, a *lawyer*?!?

tephraFor the third time this week mom has done the "you'd have made a good lawyer" line. I'm not sure that's a compliment. Just because I've been pointing out various ways to stick to the letter of a law while utterly mutilating the intent lately doesn't mean I'd be a good lawyer. Does it?
What puzzles me is that I don't toss the idea of being a lawyer out immediately. Probably because back in my earlier teens I actually considered it seriously. I can't see myself as a trial lawyer, which is why I tossed the idea way back then, but I could see myself dealing with copyright and patent law.
And as mom pointed out the last time, it's not too late to consider it. I am only 30 after all. Of course I have to wonder where the heck I'd get the money to go back to school. And if I were going to do that would I really want to pursue law?
