| I do risk assessment for a large corporation and I love it. I am a lawyer and a few other people on my team are as well but other people have international relations or banking backgrounds. |

| I've known a few non-lawyer lawyers. One developed an app and made a bunch of money. One moved home and worked in a kennel. One was a bartender. |

I worked in legal marketing. I didn't love it, but they're always including in the job description that they prefer candidates have a JD.
Pay isn't going to compare to associate level salary until you get very senior and I felt like everyone gives you the stink eye because instead of billing hours you're a leech adding to the firm's admin costs. |
