I have an interest in law and love debate. But i also have an undeniable love for technology as well. And i have a minor interest for science as well. If at all possible i would love a job with the first 3 and ideally all 4 but i would be very satisfied with just having the first 3. Don't tell me Patent Attorney, I'v heard that before but I know i wouldn't like it, too dry.

I'm in exactly the same position as you - I love debate, but I'm also something of a techie! I'm preparing for law school now, actually.

Have you considered working as in-house counselfor a technology company? You could shoot for something like intellectual property while you're in law school, and once you get your JD, you could specifically pursue positions within the ranks of tech companies. Lots of them look for people like that - they'll hire lawyers to stay on with them and represent the company whenever they're in trouble. That way, you'd get to spend some time around technology, too! And in preparing for cases, you'll definitely need a good understanding of the technological world.
