<p>This is going to sound quite strange but here goes</p>
<p>I want to become an mechnical/aerospace engineer (some schools i like are v tech, wpi and bu). However, I have now devolped a strong intrest in law and would like to got to law school. However becoming a lawyer sounds "too much for me". So is it a good idea to go to law school right after college and want can I do with that law degree without becoming a lawyer. </p>
<p>Ya I know sounds a little crazy</p>
<p>I would first spend some time in engineering before you go to law school if you are unsure. Law school is a huge investment, and would remove you from three years of earnings for three years of intense academics. Not to mention that going to law school just to go would not do as much for your personal wealth accumulation / career as working for three years in engineering. You’ll also accumulate a large amount of debt, which never bodes well for one’s quality of life. If after working in engineering for a few years you find that you’d rather be a lawyer, then switch to law. Try your other options before embarking on a career path in law.</p>
<p>It’s OK to think about law now, but since you have not yet begun college, I suggest that you first need to decide whether or not you want to apply for an engineering program, since many schools require entering freshmen to start that program right away. If you decide to do that, then you will next need to decide whether or not to complete the engineering degree and become a working engineer.</p>
<p>If you decide not to apply for engineering, then you will have some time to try various courses before you have to pick your major. If at that point you’re still interested in law school, you will need to earn top grades to be a good candidate for law school admissions.</p>
