It’s not a regret but would’ve been a different life path - in 2003 I let people talk me out of pursuing Intellectual Property Law because of my interests in music and technology intersecting with the law - and the reason they cited? There’s no money in IP law.

Right, the folks working in Texarkana on Federal cases for Samsung and the like drive used Hyundai minivans and buy ramen in bulk these days /s.

Pretty glad I didn’t go that route though because deep down I love competition, cocaine, and strippers. About as much of a 180 from present day me.
