I am too old and to be honest, I prefer my current occupations.

@Amisja I wasn't suggesting you go to law school honey, I was just saying there is nothing magic about it. With the required education I am sure you could do just as well.

Soliciting means the same thing here

Not all. I've met some whose language skills are definitely wanting.

@Petter Must be the type of practice...the one I worked for was very selective and not a single one of the attorneys lasted long if they did not have an exceptional command of the language of law and literature...it was a challenging place to work but invigorating as well...pontification and verbosity were prized...to the point of ad nauseam at times...ha

@thinktwice Sounds like a place I would have liked. Maybe it could have been a 4th career choice, instead of retiring.

@Petter I briefly thought about going to law school just for fun...but, I came to my senses and will retire and find other interesting things to do instead...and wow...4 careers? How wonderful!

@thinktwice Variety prevents boredom! My first career was as a government bio-chemist, but I was terrified at the thought of being in the same laboratory, doing the same repetitive tasks, year upon year. That's why I joined an elevator company. Never the same perpetual venue or puzzles. Unfortunately, I ended up running both the technical and sales departments, and getting bored. That's when I moved to Spain and started my own publishing company.

@Petter I started as a social worker...how naive of me to think I could make a difference in such a convoluted institution as the drug and alcohol industry or the prison system...I then became an accountant. From there, I evolved into computer programming/hacking and installations. That led me to the legal field but as a controller/accountant, so not a career change per se. I now run a computer software company...I will be retiring to write, paint, and sit on the beach. I, too, am subject to boredom easily...

@thinktwice Snap. I bought my first computer, a Texas instruments machine running cp/m and taught myself to write software, in 1981.

@Petter Haven't heard that company in a while! My dad was a tech on some of the first computers used by the US Army...it was fascinating to me to go to work with him to see the computer ROOMS...ha ha ha...I love the history of computers since I have lived so much of it...I now carry around an almost mini computer via my smart phone...what a wonderful thing...

@thinktwice when I was courting my wife in 1966, she was a computer programmer with ICL. She worked on the 4th floor. The entire 3rd floor was needed to house the computer and its ancillary equipment. There were banks of lamps, but not a single TV screen. This huge, super-expensive machine was less powerful than my $3,000 Texas instruments computer, itself now dwarfed manyfold by the device in my hand with which I am answering a comment written by a person thousands of miles away - a device which cost me $200.

@Petter lol I remember carting the huge round WANG computer tapes all over the building..and then later lugging around my Compaq computer that was innovative at the time, but weighing nearly 40 pounds! I traveled a lot on planes as an auditor...now...laptop, files stored in the cloud, and yes, my phone...amazing world

@thinktwice Wang - the word processor company that was fighting it out with the big mainframe and mini-computer makers, then found itself undermined by the new desktop machines that had elementary word processing capabilities, but which improved until not only Wang, but the mini computer market was destroyed.
I remember repairing a Compaq "lugable" in the mid 80 A big, heavy beast with a tiny screen and a square metal box. Keyboard separate.
