Why not do both? Get a degree in Electrical Engineering and then get your JD. There is a huge demand for patent attorneys, especially those with EE backgrounds.

Wow, you are all over the map with this one. These are entirely different careers. Well, my advice is whatever you decide to do, don't just go after the most money. Do what suits you and try to do something you will like or at least not hate. No amount of money is enough to make you go to a job you hate for 8-10 hours a day. Pick the career that allows you to best use what you're good at. If you make loads of money, great, if not, well, it's not the end of the world.

most of the lawyers I know hate it and wish they could get out. All the fighting, somebody always loses, it's always hard
electrical engineers on the other hand are in big demand all over and get to work on cool stuff for the big bucks

Both are good although a lawyer will probably make more . Remember 99% of lawyers give lawyers a bad name too - lol .

I would pick the one that gives you the most satisfaction. At the end of the day,how do you feel? Do you want to go back tomorrow? Both command a high salary,but money can't buy happiness or satisfaction.
