I have been a non-profit immigration attorney for over ten years. I am now looking to change careers, but most law firm postings require several years of experience in particular fields. Any advice on convincing firms to take me seriously even if I don't have experience in that particular area of law? If you don't think I have a chance at all, any suggestions on other careers?

Hi! So glad to find this bowl!
Today, I was looking through other bowls and see comments like: “Anyone tired of chasing money?” “Is it just me or as I get older do you realize how little awards and accolades mean?” And I’m reminded of how grateful I am to have my hope in something other than my work. I hope my coworkers see that in me, too. That I work hard but advertising is not what fulfills me.
