My FIL has a JD. an internship at a law practice turned him off to being a practicing attorney, but he instead segued those skills researching law surrounding environmental issues for reclaimed military land.

A JD is way more than being an ambulance chaser or Erin Brockovich, or even My Cousin Vinny. It’s a skill set, like a history major, which can transfer into all walks of life.

However, you need to finish your degree even if you decide to learn guitar and busk at the 16th st. mall.
