digamma's Face The Board Questions

[Antmeister]

He may not be one to start a lot of threads, but he definitely participates in those that he can. This renegade lawyer in Los Angeles has been through a number of hardships and triumphs in his life. And yet he is still able to trudge through while maintaining his positive outlook, wit and humor.

The next FTB participant is digamma. Blast away with your questions. As usual, questions will be fielded until Sunday. Any questions asked after that day can be answered by digamma if he chooses to do so.

It ebbs and it flows, from what I can see. I think it's great that it's continued for so long. In fact, I'm pleasantly surprised that people are still participating.

But it probably can't last forever. I mean, at some point we're going to run out of people. Maybe go to longer intervals at some point? I don't know, but maybe this would be a good reason for a FTB meta-thread.

Do you know anyone who went to Law School older than in their mid-20s? Did they find success?
