I suppose I could, though I think now that that would be a detour from my own agenda, to focus on arguing other people's cases. I see myself more in the pro se category of representation, or at least choosing my own battles in the sociopolitical arena. My main interest in law as a child was for the purpose of effecting positive change as a politician, rather than as a career in itself.
And, really (this is where I admittedly might sound a bit full of myself), I don't want to be so diversified with things that I can do that I don't focus on what I should do (and what no one else is likely or able to do). My dad in his life, for example, has amassed a vast amount of amateur/apprentice experience in multiple areas, yet has done very poorly when it comes to parlaying all that into a cogent and reasonably-stable career. I'm certainly not looking to sell my soul to a lucrative profession, but neither do I want to be a weathercock to every whim that blows through my mind -- I have to pull it all together somehow, rather than letting it pull my energies apart.
