I started going to law school part time 2 1/2 years ago at age 43. I'll graduate at 47. It is the hardest thing I've ever done (and I did my MBA part time when my oldest child was 18mos - 5yrs) but I love almost every minute. Legal Writing deadlines I could do without.
It will be significantly easier if your family is supportive and I'm lucky that mine is. They understand when I have to miss an occasional event because I have an exam and they are shocked anytime I am home before 9pm, but they are doing just fine and honestly, I think I'm setting a great example for them. My oldest daughter (a high school senior) clearly understands that the end of high school or college is not the end of learning.
I am very happy that I decided to do this.
