Do I stand a chance?

Hi All-
I'm 30 years old with about 6 years of professional experience in the IT consulting/staffing world, and I have my own company that employs 10 consultants who are here on their H-1B VISAS. I've been actively involved with the law firm we retained for the filing of my employee's Visas, Visa Renewals, and their Green Cards. I've recently determined that I'd really like to become an Immigration Lawyer. Couple of questions:
1- Am I too old to go to law school? I've noticed a lot of the information I've read online is guided towards current undergrad students, which makes me think most people go straight from undergrad to law school.
2- My ideal situation would be to work with an immigration firm focusing on IT/Engineering professionals, as I have a technical background. Is this TOO specific of a goal?
3- How bad is the legal job market for recent grads at the moment?
Thanks in advance!
