0:00I am in my early 30s , having failed the
0:01accountant exam and lived as a recluse
0:03for many years . Mr. Kodaira’s and Mr.
0:05Morihashi’s books . I read an article
0:07about someone who spent 20 years as a
0:08recluse and became a lawyer , and now
0:10I’m thinking of aiming for the same
0:11path . I need to support myself , so I
0:13plan to start over while working a
0:14part-time job . My educational
0:16background is nothing special , I have
0:17no significant work experience , and
0:19even if I pass , I might be in my late
0:2130s . Could someone like me actually
0:22make it ? Well , I think you can . You
0:24decided to aim for this after reading
0:26books by people like Mr. Kodaira and
0:27myself , right ? Thank you . After all ,
0:29you aimed for the CPA exam in the first
0:31place , haven't you ? When it comes to
0:33studying , the content is important , but
0:35there's more to it . The difficulty lies
0:38in how much you can actually study ,
0:39which is quite tough , so I think you
0:41already have experience with that .
0:44You're probably somewhat used to it
0:45from the accountant exam , and regarding
0:47whether you'll be in your late 30s ,
0:49it's perfectly fine . It’s not a
0:51problem at all . In terms of sales
0:53activities and whether you can acquire
0:55clients , you will be just fine .
0:58Actually , many people who become
1:00lawyers in their 30s or 40s often start
1:02their own practices immediately . So ,
1:04many people start their own firms and
1:07manage to get clients successfully .
1:09It’s true that being in your late 30s
1:11or 40s can be a disadvantage when
1:13looking for employment . But you don't
1:14really have to worry about that ; you
1:16can just go straight into independent
1:18practice . I’m sure you’ll manage ,
1:20so it’s really not something to be
1:21concerned about . Yes . Please do your
1:24best and go for it . Yes .
