Why does it seem like Lawyers are more valued than Engineers or Scientists

This is mainly my observation based on how people respond to graduates in certain fields. In general people seem to be more appreciative of law graduates vs engineer/scientists (physics, math, computer etc.) counterparts. All 3 professions are good but it seems people give Law so much more credit.
Being an engineer or applied scientist takes a lot of work and many people can not do it (especially the people who mock physics or math majors). So why do people discriminate against them.

Valuing someone higher does not equal discrimination.

You don't see many engineers or scientists in big time movie/TV roles like lawyers. Law is a glamorous profession

Because an engineer or scientist can't get me 300k for a fender bender. You want to put the Tesla on em or the Womack?!?

Every company needs a lawyer

The only time I value a lawyer is when I'm the defendant

Are you just the most insecure person on the planet?

Jesus God man, obsess much?
Let it go. You are not a victim of anything, get on with your life.
Are you going to sue LA Tech for letting you apply to Southern?
Enough.

Lawyers are usually more social that engineers or scientist which are perceived as nerdy

Not all lawyers are living the high life and getting the good gigs. Some suck arse and aren't making shite.
Do your best. Keep you head up and quit worrying about stupid shite.

because Law has been hidden from the people.
they silently ushered out common law in the mid 40's, without so much as a whimper
civics were also ushered out of the classroom, and bottom line is, hardly a soul knows the law or their rights.
so there is a giant empty space where common knowledge used to be, and instead is a huge vacancy sign.
people need them

Probably because people interact with attorneys much more so than engineers or scientists. People need attorneys for criminal defense, wills and estates, trusts, contract disputes, divorce and custody issues, personal property disputes, land ownership disputes, employment disputes, intellectual property issues, bankruptcy issues, workers' compensation issues, tax issues, etc .............

Engineers aren't as good at self-promotion.
Lawyers in certain specialities would starve to death if they were not good at self-promotion.

Lawyers are terrible until you need one and when you need one, you have nowhere else to go.
The criminal defense guys don't do anything. They just spend 15 minutes getting a plea deal from their buddies in the DA office and charge you thousands for that.
The divorce lawyers try to start fights and milk everyone dry.
The ambulance chasers are ambulance chasers.
It's all a game to bleed people in whatever situation dry.
They will have a girl in their office making $10/hr mail a letter and it will show up as $250 when billed.
The couple of times I've ever needed a lawyer, it's been the same.
Even when you have a good lawyer and they do a good job for you, you still end up raped.
