Have you tried the financial sector?

Banks, especially, are inundated with regulations (high-level, abstract) that necessitate technical (low-level, concrete) implementations or adaptations. Often, there are great legal minds at work on the one side, and great technical minds on the other side, with a large gap and significant barriers communication in between.

Being proficient in both of these matters can enable one to bridge that gap.

Why the down votes? It does have huge impact on the financial sector.

European banks are scrambling to patch software to purge older records. Backup strategies have to be changed to accommodate this as well.
