Go to law school. It is only 3 years and you will probably be in less of a position to do it later.

I base this on the fact that you said that "my husband wants children, but will wait if I go to law school." You never mentioned that YOU want children.

How you would be putting your life on hold? Law school is living. Living happens constantly and it is never on hold. Use it wisely, because once it is gone it is gone.

If you have children you will have to put Law school a career? on hold--of course law school will always be there, but you, your children, and your husband will pay the price later if you aren't a happy mom who was positive that having children was what she wanted. When in doubt, take the road that doesn't involve bringing other people into your world of doubt.

Whatever you decide, be sure that you will regret either going or not going to law school, having children already or not having children already. It will happen. What are you least comfortable regretting not doing? The solution to regretting is simple. Do BOTH.

Your husband seems like the type that wants you to do what is best for you. Why can't that include going to law school and working on having children at the same time? Doesn't he plan to help take care of the children? Wouldn't it be easier to have children when you have the set schedule of lawschool versus being a new lawyer just starting out practicing law? Maybe you could try for having one after your 1st year, which would probably be the most hectic. The 2nd year of law school would seem ideal to me.

No one can answer this for you... but it isn't really an either/or proposition.

I am currently a 3L and I also have 3 kids. Granted, they are not infants... but I am juggling family, school, and a part-time law clerk job (and still doing quite well).

My kids are 13, 8, and 6 years old. My 1L year, my (then) 4 year-old daughter came with me to class on several occasions when I had childcare issues (and the profs were actually cool with it!). I brought crayons and coloring books to keep her occupied and she never made a peep. And, of course, I asked permission from the profs for her to be there. And I'm not the only one who has done this... every once in awhile there will be a young visitor sitting in on a class. There are a surprising number of law students who have young children!

Several of the women in my class are taking an extra semester to graduate because they have had a child during law school. Some timed it to have a baby during a summer and will be graduating right on time. I don't know if I'd recommend it, but it seems to be a fairly common phenomenon. In my class, there are 6 women that I know who have had a child in the last two and a half years without dropping out to do so...

if you go to law school, your job options will be much better. you could raise your income by a fairly good amount. your future would be much more sound and solid if you chose this path. going to law school looks very impressive on a resume. at least, more impressive than having nothing on there. but if you are over 20, and wish to have kids sometime in your life, you should take that road.

then of course, you could always consider adopting. education is important.

this decision is totally up to you though. and to those people who said she shouldn't have asked, maybe she just wanted someone else's opinion. it's not like she's asking us to decide for her. give the girl a break. sometimes you gotta ask questions like this.

good luck! hope everything turns out well.

Law school and kids are both financial decisions. If YOU want to go to school first, do it. At least if you get a job in a firm then want kids, you will get maternity leave and you won't have to battle naked, screaming toddlers running around the house while you study for finals. Lol! Good luck with your choice!

do what your heart tells you to do. I'm half way through getting my batchelors but I am pregnant with my first baby. It also didnt help me that my school is across the country and my husband is stationed in San Diego.

It really depends on your situation and what you really want. Keep in mind that if you have babies now, it will probably be a good while before you can finish school (unless you put them in daycare or your husband watches them)

good luck!

that is a personal decision only you and your husband can make together. Weigh your options, pinpoint cons and pros of each scenario, determine will the decision you make be beneficial are you in the right place and time for the decision

well i personally think that this is fishing for some RATIONAL answer here on yahoo, i dont think you should have even asked. the answer can only come from you. sure, people have kids and their careers have to wait, and yeah, some moms have degrees before kids, it doesn't matter what you do, FEEL it. if it's right, you'll know which one to chose.

i could examine with the state branch of coaching, specially somebody interior the particular coaching branch. interior the college district the place I stay and artwork, the therapist, early intervention instructor, particular coaching instructor bypass out into the homes of particular needs scholars. Your daughter has a desirable to a unfastened, desirable coaching and he or she could get carry of any amenities that are attainable to her. good success to you and your loved ones.

Law school.

do what your heart and mind tell you.
