I'm a lawyer. Very different, I know!

I love IT and programming, but I knew if I made a life long career of it, I'd grow to hate it.

I really like doing IT related things in my own way. I'd always want to do things to best practices and not just get the job done as I was told.

I would love to pivot to law, I helped my ex do a lot of her homework and have a false sense of understanding. Only problem is that I’m old and a new start will not be easy when competing with people 20 years younger.

I know solicitors a fair bit older than me (is, in their 40s) who made the jump and find they more readily gain the respect and trust of clients, and senior lawyers within the firm, by virtue of their maturity.
