Taking the bar exam will make you more marketable in the long run ... even if you don't want to jump into the corporate rat race as such, think about the possibilties of serving as counsel for some organization whose goals you support? (I'm just thinking, it's kind of like going to med school, doing well, but never becoming a doctor)
A friend of mine's mom went back to law school as she was turning 50.
She did this, incidently, to show up her daughter (mom has some issues) who was applying to the same law school. Mom got in. Daughter did not.
Mom has never worked a "real" law job ... but she's done a lot of immigration work (I fought with her a lot about this one because of my position of front door immigration = good, back door immigration = bad ... she was fighting to keep a bunch of well-publicized illegals in the US after a boat ran aground. She has also done a lot of liasion work with in international law regarding a small European nation that is aggressively not French.
