@EliAlbrecht, there is more to life than work. You were put on earth for a reason. Getting in touch with your inner passion, your reason, can be scary at first but then liberating. Start by thinking about what brings you joy, what types of problems you love to solve. It doesn't matter that you may have never heard of anyone else doing this before; ask yourself, "why CAN'T I do this?" Based on your posts, you have so many skills, from great writing to an ability to explain law in everyday terms. Congratulations on getting off the hamster wheel of BigLaw and welcome to your future!

I did the same two years ago. Zero regrets.
What a courageous move. I don’t doubt you will succeed in whichever road you take. B’hatzlacha
