My parents are both attorneys, and I always toyed with the idea of being an attorney. I decided to major in IS in college, because I loved computers, and I always wanted a major that gave me a marketable degree, should I not decide to go onto law school.

During all the Napster debate (beer Good! Napster Bad!), I became really interested in the area of intellectual property law and internet law. So I decided to apply to law school. I thought that I was tired of the IS world.

Now, I'm 3 weeks into my second semester of law school and am seriously depressed. Maybe its just my school, but I just feel like a fish out of water. All through college my friends were CS, IS and engineering types - and we understood each other. Now, I feel like the odd man out because I didn't have a liberal arts background - its like being in high school again - and I'm the computer nerd.

I'm beginning to think that computers really *are* my calling and I need to get into a master's program in CS or IS.
