    Hi there, I've come on here to look for some advice about studying Law. I'm 28 years old and have been working in book publishing for the last few years. I have a BA in English/Media and MA in Publishing. I am looking to change career paths and while doing my research I keep returning to Law. What I really want to know, is am I too old to begin such a demanding career in Ireland? I know this is a pretty vague question, but any advice anyone could offer would be really appreciated! Thanks!!

    When I opened this thread i expected you to say you're in your fifties.
    I know nothing about working in the legal profession but I sincerely doubt your extra few years life experience and previous studies will put you at a disadvantage.

    Go for it, I changed career paths at 26 and again at 29. never looked back.

    I too worked in publishing and went back to college at 32! So I would say no, go for it.
