Well...first off, Big Data isn't in IT. Replacing hard drives, imaging servers, and configuring IIS/LAMP is IT. Depending on where you are in your life and what options you have available, you could go back and get another BS, in computer science or similar. Or you could get a professional MS in computer science. Or maybe just take some coursera courses like this one: https://www.coursera.org/course/dataanalysis https://www.coursera.org/course/dataanalysis Since you already have a JD, I'd think you could combine your legal knowledge with coding knowledge, possibly working in the legal department of a medium sized software company, as a bridge between legal and dev?

Thanks for the reply. I don't think I'm at a place where I can return to university. I don't have the time to slog through arbitrary course requirements, I'm still pretty burnt out from schooling given I graduated fairly recently. I've considered Coursera and the like, but my main concern is whether completing these courses then putting them on my resume would get me a job in a relevant field. Does anyone have any insight into this? Either way that course looks interesting and I'm going to sign up.
