I was a lawyer.
Now I'm a software developer. Primary reason for the switch? It's so much easier for the same amount of pay.
I work the same hours, I get paid the same amount. The questions presented to me in both jobs were fascinating and the work was satisfying.
When I got home from being a lawyer I was dead to the world. Exhausted from a hard day's work.
When I get home from being a software developer I've still got enough vim and vinegar to take my son to the children's museum or the library. Every day.
Anecdotal yadda yadda yadda. But I assume the pool of people who have been both lawyers and programmers is, if not tiny, then small.
