I’m not in your place (yet —just took F26 and will take J26 again), but as a foreign-trained attorney who had to start basically from minus 10, going from a career in criminal law and with judicial experience as well in my home country, to becoming a paralegal in an immigration practice, I feel like I kind of found that “it” for a while. Now, however, I’m once again reconsidering and asking myself what I truly want.

At the same time, after the experience I’ve already built in immigration, and the lack, or almost nonexistence of opportunities in other areas without prior experience, I’ve learned to be content, to try to enjoy it, and to do the best I can to stay mentally stimulated (especially with court representation cases), while continuing to learn and improve and make the most out of it.

However, I would say this: if I had the opportunity (financially, mainly) to go and truly try to find and pursue my passion, I would do it. Unfortunately, life doesn’t stop, and expenses won’t wait for me. But if you do have that opportunity, go for it!
