Pursue lawyering or software development.

Hey there, I’ve been in this group for a couple of days now and appreciate all you have progressed in your own careers.

I’ve been working for several years now sa isang gov agency and stuck na to the system (nepotism, politics, etc); I’m an IT professional. The pandemic came, and I opted to enroll in a juris doctor (law) program, and I did graduate. Bakit? For career progression. As I step into taking the bar examination, I am always thinking of venture nalang for freelancing because I see it as practical (in addition to my gov job), and the pay is way better than being a lawyer in due time.

Is it worth it to do what I love (software development) or slay the bar to become a lawyer soon?
