I would switch if it involves years of school. Debt makes you a slave to money (and the people who have it).

If you have a law degree, why. Ot look into specializing in a sector of law related to science or technology?

I sort of think I should have been a lawyer instead of a dev. A bunch of people say that makes sense, but it would be too expensive and time consuming. So I'll just tough it out in a job I hate. To be fair I think I would hate being a lawyer because of the general incompetence of law enforcement and the judiciary.
