Ha! Yeah, I am 27 and doing a four year program. I am visiting my parents and stopped by to see an old employer today. One of the first things he asked was whether I was married. When I said no, he was all, "Well, men certainly are intimidated by smart women. But don't worry, you look good so you'll find someone." Jeez! I was so embarassed.
That being said, I do know a few female attorneys who are over 30 who act all desperate to find someone and have kids. I don't want to be that lady, and I don't think I will be, but do you all think it is true that it will be much more difficult to get married, etc as a 30+ woman with a legal education? Do men REALLY only want women they perceive as less intelligent? And, if it did happen, how impossible would it be to start a family during school and how would that affect employment opportunities? I am not rethinking my decision to attend LS, but these are definitely things that I think about as random people make unsolicited comments about my age/marital status/career plans.
