Not recommended for privacy —which is useful in every industry.

You can move into other areas if you decide to focus on healthcare—which you’ll quickly learn when it comes to the pay differences.

You hit six figures quicker if you are not coming from big law.

I’m a nonlawyer who came in at 123k as an employee.

As a consultant, there’s no limit and ample opportunities.
