[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're serious about making a change and have aptitude and interest in logic and analytical thinking, consider computer science / data science. Have many smart friends who successfully switched into this after years of low paying passion jobs. One of my friends is in her mid-30s, works as an office manager as a tech company, and getting her company to sponsor the transition to a junior SWE role -- seems like it's going well.

And having done both, CS has lots of overlapping logic skills and parallels to legal transactional work without the 3 years of law school + biglaw (and dealing with difficult counterparties...)[/quote]

I don’t know… I wouldn’t want to try to compete with the younger set in this field. My 20yr old is a CS major and had a very highly paid CS internship (trying to crack SW coed and fine vulnerabilities in various SW products) and has an offer on the table. He’s only just started his junior year. The young brain just absorbs more , can hold more, and they’ve been at it for much longer. He was writing code before he had armpit hair.

Threes just something about youth that inescapable in the tech field.[/quote]
