Hello,
I'm strongly considering going back to school to become an LLM Professional (IP Law with my specialty being computer science). Since this will take me about 10 to 11 years, I'm wondering what the average age is for entering LLM professionals. Just to define my estimate of 10 years: I have a BS in computer science now, I would obtain an M.S. in computer science (about 4), then a JD (4), and finally an LLM (about 1.5 to 2).
Thanks in advance for your time, effort and sharing of gray matter.

Anybody with some stats? I'm thinking this would be especially informative for those of us interested in a new career.

I believe that average age is mid-late 20s but then the panel is from early 20s to mid 30s.

27 here, but I think age should not be an issue

Black and Tinaton, thanks for providing some general and first hand statistical information; looks like I'll be outlier.
All the best...

Most people in the LLM class of most schools are in their mid twenties so you could say the average age is 25. Having said that, I must note that I ve got 40 (and even 50) year olds in my LL.M class. Cheers.

James, now your talking my numbers :)
When thinking more about my question, I should have qualified it with ", ie starting a second career".
Currently I'm a software engineer with 10 years of experience. I figure with my experience, plus an MS in Computer Science, JD and LLM, I should do pretty good as a law professional.

Not to worry. Like for MBA, there are always some 40 to 50 year olds in the class. Go for it - age is not an issue. With a JD, you don't even have to do an LLM.
