Fighter or Lawyer

Hey All,

I’m conflicted on whether to go into a career as a fighter or a lawyer.

Some context, I’m 24 years old and I initially took a gap year and went straight into work. It eventually became the classic saying of “next year, next year” for university. I ended up getting busy with other ventures/hobbies, some of those being martial arts.

I have been able to become a world champion in Taekwondo and Kickboxing respectively and it’s a great passion of mine. I have a great prospect to become a professional athlete if I continue on this path.

However, I have always had a dream of becoming a lawyer and that passion is still in me but I didn’t expect to fall in love with martial arts. I don’t want to grow old with any regrets and I’m very much a “all in or nothing” type of person.

Any advice from those in the field would be greatly appreciated.
