Law Conversion Course - Average Age?

Does anyone know what the average age is for people taking the law conversion course?

I was wondering if it is something that people tend to do straight after university as a change in direction or later in life as a career change. I'm sure that there is a mix of backgrounds, but some stats of the average profile would be interesting.

I ask as it is something that I have always had at the back of mind as an option. I'm 27 now and after graduating in media and communications and working for a little bit I'm now at the point where I want to do a masters and try and move up professionally. I could either do a masters in digital media/marketing which links to my first degree and work experience, then build up professionally in this industry. I could then do a law conversion later in life and go on to specialise in media law using this background. This may eventually give me a solid and wide set of skills, but I'd probably be quite old by the time I got anywhere. Alternatively, I could look at the law conversion now and focus on building up my legal experience. I wouldn't have as wide a range of experience to utilise, but say by my mid 30s I would have more law specific experience.

Sooo, average age of law conversion applications? And I guess any advice on moving up professionally in 2 industries or just focusing on law now? Thanks.
