3. Assume the best intention of others.

In between I did nothing related to law. No litigation, no court, no corporate, no internships, nothing. However, I would read livelaw and legal matters daily since I just couldn't let go of my love for law. I feel I need to get back into the game. However I do not want to get into corporate, so that means NO MBA and NO Law firms. What do I do ?
1. Should I apply for a PhD and get into research since I love legal issues and would have that passion to sustain.
2. Should I pivot to something like socio-legal research and apply at places like TISS.
3. Should I join litigation. There's a ten year gap but that's the most accepting place irrespective of age and money is not an issue.
4. Do I genuinely swallow my pride and join corporate with a MBA/executive MBA. I have a decade of experience in setting up a business from scratch.
It's not for the money. I'm earning enough through our business. It's about the passion and happiness to do something much more than financial satisfaction.
Any suggestions would be thankful.
