I sometimes wonder what I would do were I no longer a lawyer (but assuming that I still needed to work).

Virtually none of the work I do actually requires me to be a solicitor. I don't tend to touch any "reserved" stuff. So I could just carry on as I am today. But that aside...

I don't know.

Perhaps three or four different things (businesses), rather than just one main thing?

@neil I’ve got a handful of vaguely useful skills that aren’t particularly related to my job, though making a living from them would be tricky: I don’t have any qualifications that would legally allow me to engage in those trades. I can entirely (re-)plumb a house or wire up all the electrics in a house including PV & battery. I’ve designed and built wooden furniture from scratch. No idea if any of that would give me much head start on getting qualified though.

@pmdj Useful skills!

@neil @pmdj talking about useful skills. My superpower is knowing how your idea isn’t gonna work (only software mind) which is totally untransferable.

Thus my fuck off job has to be being wrong most of the time
