Kourtney Kardashian is 'returning to school to become a lawyer'

She has always been the most studious of her famous sisters, and it has now been reported that Kourtney Kardashian is set to return to school in order to study law.

Kourtney is reportedly keen to follow in her late father’s footsteps, with Robert Kardashian being a high profile lawyer in California before his tragic death.

Kourtney, who is mum to seven-year-old Mason, five-year-old Penelope, and two-year-old Reign already has a degree in Theatre Arts and Spanish but wants to focus on education in the coming years.

Speaking to Heat magazine, an insider explained: “Kourtney probably doesn’t have to work for the rest of her life, but that’s not how she rolls.

“She already has a degree but she’s always wanted to go back to school and thinks now is the perfect time.

“She nearly signed up last year, but things were falling apart with Scott, so she put it off but really regrets it.

“She is in a better place to get her head in the books now.”

Speaking about her father, the source added: “Kourt is proud of her dad and knows he always wanted her to be a lawyer.

“She’s already looking into doing an online course, so she can still be around the kids.”

And Kourtney reportedly hopes that this move will help her finally get over estranged partner Scott Disick, continuing: “For so many years, she let Scott suck her energy.

“Between raising her kids and trying to save him, she never had much time left for herself.

“This past year has been all about changing that dynamic – she wants to have passion and direction again. She doesn’t want to end up wondering, ‘What if?’ in 20 years time.”
