How Importance is law?

[Alex Greenberg]

Hi everyone,

I met with a developer yesterday, he said that he thought the two most important parts of becoming a developer are construction and law. Do you agree with this? I understand how to get construction experience, seemingly straight forward and not expensive, Law also seems important but something you should got to school for if it’s your interest, not a necessity, especially since it takes 3 years and +$100,000. The reasoning was that law school helps you think differently, but do you really need to go to law school to gain this knowledge, and you can’t find a lawyer who can help you think this way? I feel like I could do a lot in those 3 years while saving a $100,000 which can go towards investing.

Thank you!
