In Reply To: I would have to respectively disagree with the last poster. If you have experience in more than one disipline more power to you. You never know how such experince will help you down the road. Who knows, you might want to become an attorney specializing in issues having to do with computer programming? I myself have training as both a physician and an information scientist and there is a field called medical informatics that combines the two and I had a job as an consultant that paid 6 figures.
Message: and maybe I wasn't clear in my last response. Obviously someone with a law degree has already displayed a level of skill and ability that will serve that person well and if said person had also been trained as an "information scientist" that would bode well for moving into I.S. consulting. If, however, that attorney's I.S. experience is writing some game programs at home, I would suggest that does not bring the relevant experience to the table to become an I.S. consultant.
