Thanks for the response! Here are my reasons.

First, I think the legal industry as it stands is due for a huge shake up. Alot of junior associate work will be automated away.

Second, I enjoy creating things. Law doesn't really put me in a position to do that. Making my first silly game was really cool.

Third, my personality fits better with engineers. People are more relaxed and interested in solving problems rather than focusing on appearances.

Fourth, the dream. I spent sometime in the West coast and want to see if I can make it as an entrepreneur.

Does that help?

Thanks in advance!

Yes - it does a lot. It seems like the switch would be good for you. I agree that junior associate and mid-associate work is being iterated away. Don't discount the intersection of the two interests in law practices of cybersecurity, robotics, and machine learning law among burgeoning areas. Those are locations one could make a mark "on the intersection". I was trying to determine how extroverted your personality is; I have a CompSci but I'm fairly extroverted - and it has become a "secret power" of mine. As an aside, you don't need CompSci or Law to become an entrepreneur. If you want to be a non-web oriented engineer - a CompSci program would be heavily useful. A web engineer can get entry with a head full of knowledge, projects, and a good "code school". Edit I realized how disjoint each sentence is, but hopefully it helps.

Awesome thanks. I agree there's definitely some interesting possibilities between law and tech especially in regulatory research. Do you have a particular preference for undergrad v grad?

I'm a lawyer and coder. Happy to talk about that intersection and opportunities there if you'd like. My email is in my profile :)
