Here's the truth, you never end up doing what you studied. Not these days anyway.
The working world is changing and although you are disilluioned with Law, everything you learnt is valuable, but you don't have to be what you studied to be. If there's a message in the start-up world - that's it.
Reading between the lines:
You have a huge debt that you want to clear asap
Startups can make loads of cash
You hate law - but feel obligated to it because of your qualification
You want to be around startups (hence HN membership)

Sounds like a perfect candidate for a VC.
