How do I choose what to do for the rest of my life? I'm in the middle of my final school exams (Ireland) and I'm likely to get the points to do anything I want. I've narrowed it to the two choices:

Law
Pros:
-Go to the best/second best school in the country.
-Have spoken to two solicitors (lawyers) and I reckon I'll enjoy the work.
-I like reading.

Cons:
-No guarantee of a getting a good paying job in the long run.
-Have to move out of home (I'll be living like a hobo for 4 years).

Comp Sci
Pros:
-Job market here is in desperate need of software engineers; good paying job is guaranteed.
-I already code (to some extent).
-I won't have to move out of home.

Cons:
-Not sure I'll enjoy making my hobby into my work and I might hate it in the long run.

If anyone has experience in either I'll be much appreciative.

I'm a lawyer in the US. I love it. I get to divide my time between interviewing, counseling, research, writing, and argument. I get to be tactical and creative. I get to stand up to bullies. It's awesome. I don't mind conflict and I have a thick skin. That helps.

I'm a software engineer in the US. I love it as well. Yep.

One other thing. I also code on the side to automate the repetitive tasks that pop up in my legal practice. I like that as well and my coding helps me develop my professional network as other lawyers are interested in automation.

It seems like being a lawyer is best, considering only one of your two options is both a potential hobby and a potential asset to the other. If you choose law, you can use CS to aid you in your career and you can continue it as a hobby. If you choose CS as a career, you likely can't use law too much to aid you in your career, and you likely can't practice law as a hobby.

If you've swelled on this questik. Long enough, you bmprobably know the right answer - but your hesitation is riddled with fear and insecurity - fuck that shit anon. make a desicion before life makes it for you.
