Good points. Do engineering/math/physics and pick up the programming on the side like we did.

“I would also push her towards a good State school...they are much cheaper
and have infinitely better engineering and science programs than most
small lib-arts schools, which tend to be private. The Engineering
departments tend to be a-political, so you don’t have to worry about
indoctrination...that will come from the outside campus.”

I have a 12 year old niece I’m helping plan for. she wants to be a lawyer, but Ive told her do a engineering undergrad, ten law school and rule the world.

I believe an engineering and law combination would qualify you as a patent lawyer

Yep...undergrad in Engineering will give her the discipline to get thru law
school. Patent lawyers usually were engineering undergrads. Best of luck
to her.
