re: Which is harder? Engineering, Med School, or Law School

I've got a Masters in Mechanical Engineering and date someone in the medical profession and the sheer amount of hours she has to dedicate to her craft surpasses me even with all my research. shite is no joke, but it's very different.

I find my work involves a lot of problem solving and hers involves a lot of recollection and piecing together of a puzzle when you often don't have all the pieces.

This type of question isn't really possible to answer. Getting a graduate engineering degree would be easier than med school for a lot of people but a lot of my SO's friends excel in the med field and would likely struggle a bit more with a lot of what I do. We are talking about some very high functioning people though, so these kinds of comparisons of "who is better" are kind of pointless.
