School seems really important to you. Are you tired working in a plant or something

I know a few engineers that went on to be lawyers but all are in electrical or civil. If so, what was your reason and was it worth it? Which part of schooling was tougher. I know Chemical engineering thoroughly kicked my arse. Can’t imagine many things being tougher but I’ve heard horror stories about law school as well


Buddy of mine did it. Had a PhD in ChemE and went to law school. He did quite well.

Many engineers struggle in law school because there is not "an answer." They are uncomfortable with the gray areas. Law is always gray. That's just how it is.

I remember having a discussion a number of years ago with a Ph.D. English professor. He mentioned that as for as education, the most intelligent people he ever met with were those with undergrad engineering degrees and a law degree. He said the whole right brain/left brain was on full display. His description made perfect sense.

An attorney I work with was a chemical engineer. He ended up hating it, went to law school, and is now a damn good maritime attorney.
