Hi,
I am a commerce graduate aged 36. I was working in the corporate world till last year.Then due to an accident I had to rest at home for 8 months. Now it is really difficult to restart my career in metros. I am planning to work at my home place and study CS alongside.After completing Finals, I think I will go to some metro and go for the 15 month training and then start a career as a CS at 40/41 years of age. Then I plan to study for LLB (evening classes)
Now the million dollar question. Would anybody give me a chance? As I am a bachelor I can manage with an initial salary of around Rs.20k pm.
I know it is too much to expect any company to give me a break. Would I get a job with any Practicing company secretary?
Any other options for survival? Please help

Sir, never be upset. Take it as mere accident which could turn your life even towards a better. In my opinion you should take a job (matching your profile) where you can manage to study and earn at the same time. Age will not be a bar for a deserving and succesful man. Remember what lord Krishna had said to Arjuna in Gita" You have right to do the work and not to the frution there of". Don't worry, He is with you. Best of Luck.

It all depends upon your professional aptitude and passion to the job which can be amply exhibited by means of sheer hardwork and tirelessly striving to achieving goals without quantifying into monetary benefits. If your fulfill this criteria no body can stop you becoming a successful lawyer. You can always take a cue from experts like Makkad, Vishal, Y.Prakash sirs and the likes. But you need to be Tech-Savvy
