A good book on collapse-aware career advice is this one: https://www.amazon.com/Build-Real-Career-Bewildering-Economy/dp/1497533406
I recommend it.
If you do go the law school route, I bet a real estate attorney will be an interesting field while the system holds up. Not sure how much law school costs, but the debt pay off horizon might be shorter than the brochures will tell you. I say it'd be an interesting field because people always need places to live and work, and with real estate in some areas being decimated, capital will flow to other areas.
I feel pulled in a lot of directions too. I'm a chemist, but I manage some real estate, and I dream of being involved with food self-sufficiency. The old ways of specialization being a sure fire path to success are fading. I can't fully comprehend what a full on crisis would do to all the professionals who have no idea how deep the collapse and climate change rabbit hole goes. So having a side gig of resiliency seems like a good idea. And the more ideas that can be tried, the higher our likelihood of hitting on successful ones that fit our changing circumstances.
This book offers sound collapse-aware career advice. There aren't easy answers in it, but it does help us shake off some of the notions that have been drilled into us about education and employment. Congrats on your progress towards your degree, you'll feel great when you get it done, and that will serve you well in any case because it's about finishing what you started and accomplishing what you set out to do.
Your life experiences and awareness of critical issues will set you apart from the crowd, and I hope that serves you well. I hope you do find your way into a leadership position. Even today, you can lead by example in preparing for changes we can reasonably expect.
