It did not want attorneys licensed in other states retiring to FL and writing wills and trusts on the cheap or otherwise for friends and acquaintances. Maybe that has changed but I doubt it.

I realize you are requesting career change ideas. Why not take the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory test? It would give you an idea of what may interest you. Strong Interest Inventory I took it many years ago and developed an avocation I love that changed my life!
Truth based on experience with attorneys and our legal system, I have a low opinion of both.

In terms of protecting their turf, you could say that about any field.

As far as career change, I seem to recall Col Sanders of chicken fame started at 80 something. Personally I am thankful that I worked hard and saved hard for 45 years.
I am too old, my back is shot and I do not need or want a job at Wallmart.
