so i'll have a law degree soon...

[joker122]

not really soon...more like 2.5 years.

i played poker professionally for about 18 months, but due to boredom, a desire for intellectual stimulation, and societal pressure i decided to enter law school. i am currently attending a top 25 law school in the northeast. i really like it so far. i have always enjoyed intellectual challenges/pursuits and i get plenty of that in law school.

the only problem is that i don't see myself practicing. the main reason for this is that the potential income to be earned is actually not very appealing - at least not for someone who played poker professionally. indeed, what i made in the last 6 months from poker is much more than even a seasoned lawyer at a large firm makes in a year.

secondly, practicing entails long hours of often tedious work.

so getting to my question finally: what is the best way to utilize a law degree if one doesn't want to practice? especially if one has approximately $200k in capital saved with very little expenses?

just looking to have some ideas thrown around/engage in a dialogue. i'd appreciate any insight.
