How feasible is to be self-employed after law school?

Hey guys,

I am currently self-employed, and I'm considering going to law school. I provide educational consultations to my clients. However, I feel there are limits to how much I can charge with my current job(market demands).

I am considering going to law school since I saw that a lawyer I hired was charging $300-500 per hour for revising a contract. This type of work is very similar to the kind of consulting I'm doing, except I'm getting paid less. A client will send me a project; I'll revise it and return it. This job only takes a few hours a week.

I've been self-employed before, and I know how to set up a website or pay a third party for advertisement. Also,I have some money save up so I wouldn't go into debt if I were to go to law school.

I want to hear from others who have to pursue are pursing this route. What is your take?
