TIPS ON SUCCESSFULLY
GOING BACK
TO SCHOOL FULL-TIME AFTER A CAREER by lindsay miller
Making the leap from full-time employee to full-time student can be daunting. After reading these tips on how to successfully transition, hopefully you will see that you are more prepared than you think. Prior to starting law school last fall at 31 years old, I practiced as a full-time pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) in a variety of settings in Chicago and Columbus. Although I loved my job as an SLP, I knew my passion for advocating for individuals with disabilities and policy-related work would draw me to law school eventually. Looking back, I had more tools than expected to make the transition successfully.
