>>10363164I made this mistake. It was driven purely by avarice and it left me extremely disappointed.
Don't forget, you will struggle (not more than an undergrad but still struggle nonetheless) unless you went to a Top 12 law school.
I disagree with the other posters, at least as it relates to undergrad STEM. Law is indeed more mentally stimulating as you'll have much more responsibility than some undergraduate butt boy making $17.00 with zero respect, doing tedious work that your superiors hired you to be some fresh out of undergrad bitch to do for them. You're stuck doing tedious, boring work. People don't care about your knowledge, your intelligence or skill—in fact, bragging about these things during an interview is going to be seen as arrogance; you need like 5-7 years experience arbitrary experience to move on from that hell, only to be in marginally better. To actually be in a position where you have control over what it is you're doing in the sciences (still in the undergrad career track unless you get lucky), you need to climb the ladder, know people, and be a good boy for a decade. And by then, you have a family, kids, and don't have any other choice and you hate what you do.
Undergrad STEM is the worst possible career path. Continue your education for a PhD. Go to med school. Pharmacy school is another option. Even a JD is superior to STEM undergrad. I wouldn't suggest it, and it will leave you miserable, which is why I list it last but you're fucking screwed if you have a undergrad STEM degree. If you don't have postgraduate ambitions, don't go to college at all, you're better off going for a trade. A BS degree is like a GED, it isn't a fucking accomplishment, everyone with a IQ over 100 has one and that isn't a good thing.
