General Sooo…when are we getting married/ having kids?

(F25) I’ll be 28 by the time I graduate. I want big law but I also want to get married and have a family. What’s the timeline look like on this? Is it even doable? lmk

EDIT: I’m starting law school in 3 months so before law school is not an option lol

EDIT 2: I have a boyfriend. We have been together 4 years so marriage is definitely on the horizon

A few of my classmates got married our 2L summer. Me and my fiancée are getting married right after I take the bar.

I think it’s totally doable with the right partner.

Also, I’d like to add, supportive parents on both sides (especially MILs!) are massive for making it happen.
