Don't worry; many lawyers, at age 57, are saying the same thing!

(There are more lawyers of the Saul Goodman size of practice than the LA Law type of practice)

No shortages of lawyers who think the same - way before they hit 50 :-)

Yes precisely. If I had a pound for each time a dev told me they wish they were a doctor, and another pound for each time a doctor told me they wish they were something else!

Then do both!

I had a friend who was an engineer for a few years, decided to do something different, and now she's a physician.
