how are you sure you’d enjoy practicing law substantially more than engineering to warrant 200k in debt?

200k in debt is crushing when big law is no longer a possibility and you are stuck with a position that only pays around 50-70k.

however, note that, depending on what school you get into/currently go to, you should have a strong chance at big law with a engineering degree. students with hard science/engineering backgrounds are much more in demand for ip work and employers will be less “choosy” in that grades or personality don’t matter nearly as much when compared to big law hiring for other practice areas.
