    Why not Investment Banker or a Business Consultant?

    This is how I also thought why being a lawyer differs from everything - Because we are using the law - black letter law - interpreting it in different manners to ensure businesses meet their objectives Good to see that I was on the same lines. But this sounds too easy.
