Getting out of IT

[Clippy]

Well most of what I do for the last 5 years has been around compliance and regulatory requirements, so I figured the logical extension of that was to get into the legal side of things. Boss has agreed to fund me on the first stage of an OU course leading to a degree in Law, starting in Feb next year.

It's a long term plan, 6 years to get qualified, but I'm aiming to get into the Corporate side of it with the current employers Legal Counsel along the way ( He's in house, and I've helped him out already with a few bits around Data Protection doing the legwork he doesnt have time for ).

How old are you mate?

Did a 3 year law degree before getting into IT lark, hated every minute of it. Wait until you start on Property and Commercial Law But good luck with it any way.

Right, first steps taken on getting out of IT. Not exactly a plan B yet, but it's got the wheels in motion.

Best part is, current employers are paying for it

Use lots of lube
