"Law, finances."

Do you know how valuable someone is with an undergraduate engineering degree with a law degree on top?

In these days of global competition in science and technology, that is the ticket to riches beyond their wildest dreams........

Of course CPA's and Lawyers more often toil in obscurity and drudgery with middle-incomes than they do not...... Some people are ok with that.

My very bright daughter just switched her major from marine biology, that she loves, to accounting.

She is the hardest working person I know and always has been. Her couch in middle school used her as an example of what it was possible to accomplish with no talent but hard work and determination (I had mixed feelings about that).

But even lawyers better be a partner or own their own firm by their mid 30s. You can't just be an associate forever.
