Doing god's work! Amazing.

> I am not entirely sure what it is about a legal education

Mastery of symbolic reasoning (not as much as a math background, but vector in that direction), coupled with mastery of human beings (understanding full range of behaviors, incentives, motivations etc) which mathematicians don't get.

Understanding symbols; understanding people; understanding how to build things with your hands -- the 3 things people need to master to become great entrepreneurs!

Lawyers go along way to #1 and #2.
