"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.
It might be so now. But when the most of manufacturing base and technology relocates to China/India, US engineers with law degree will be much less in demand, similar to Argentinian engineers with Argentinian law degree.
