realistically speaking, how long/hard would it be for me to go back to school and become a lawyer? lol

I know you aren't looking for an answer, but here it is anyways

prep/register/take LSAT ~ 1yr (could be less, but many people take it more than once and it's not offered frequently)
Apply for schools/enroll ~1yr
School ~3yr
Article for mediocre money ~1yr
Write/called to bar, then another couple years before you actually start to make decent money.

Depending on who you talk to, the LSAT and schooling are either decently easy, or gruelling and difficult. I know a few engineers that have done law school and the common response is that the schooling is similar in demand to an engineering undergrad. One lawyer in my family said law school was a joke if you're creative with how you study and take exams (i.e., just employ learning methods that make sense to you, vs doing everything the traditional way of brute force completing all required reading, etc).

It's also worth mentioning that charge out rates for lawyers are sometimes excellent indicators of their compensation and very often a completely unrelated number.
I believe I've been charged >$200/hr for a Law Student who was making about $33/hr... YMMV. I think the $800/hr guy with his name on the side of the building is pulling in something far closer to that rate.

Our corporate lawyer charges $750/hr. That seems to be the going rate in Calgary for that sort of service. Employment lawyer charges same rate as well.

[ExtraSlow]

I swear we had this same discussion / argument about charge-out vs earnings for engineers as well.

Is this a side effect of we being trained by autocomplete on smartphones the last 10 years?
