Regret Attending Law School?

ariesathena,

I, too, am engineering-educated. I graduate in 2015 with degrees in chemical engineering and English. I’m starting to weigh just how wonderful these degrees can be in the corporate sector without going to law school and adding on debt. I truly think I would like being a lawyer, because I’ve always felt that I would be one. But I think there is a chance that I can find meaningful work outside of law, at least until this insane sticker price reduces a little. Luckily, I still have time to get an internship at the USPTO and another internship in engineering to really seal the deal.

But if I really like my internship at the USPTO next summer and end up not liking my engineering internship, what would you suggest?
