I actually created an account since I think I'm the younger version of you and I think your experience could help me. I'm in my final year of an undergraduate law degree, but I've worked in various programming jobs during my studies.

Did you go into a law firm right away after you finished studying? Or did you do some more contract work on the side first? How did you frame your experience in programming as useful to the firm that you worked at? How does it help you now?

I guess I'm asking because I'm somewhat at a crossroads with what to do with my life. I'm certainly feeling the current from law school trying to push me into firm work, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for that yet. I always wanted to do a startup around an idea I've been working on for a few years now and maybe travel around and pick up a few languages.

The type of work you do sounds really appealing to me, but I don't know if I can launch into it right away out of my studies.
