Ok. It's a novel way to choose your career. I would have normally suggested doing some voluntary work at a law firm then an engineering firm just to get some idea of what it will be like. Usually a month is enough. Be clear to your employer about your aim. If you are a diligent enough worker, then you'd usually be remembered when you graduate. Talk to your university entry co-ordinator/admin about delaying your entry until you make up your mind. It's your life and your money, so don't be pushed into doing something you won't like. They'll understand, they were young once too.

Working conditions vary according to the employer. Some law firms prefer that their partners go out and do their own pre-trial work and pro-bono work (eg. giving free advice to elderly folk about their wills). This gives them more exposure and a better handle on people. Some law firms will concentrate on corporate tax or real estate instead, which means more desk work. It really depends on what the law firm's overall aim for clientele are.

As for Civil Engineering, there is no such thing as a permanent desk job. Eventually you just have to visit the site because the guys working the site will have hundreds of questions for you. You usually want to inspect the quality of work for yourself anyway. Also, the guys working the site will usually have lots of clever ideas on how to make the work go smoother.

Good luck. Go out. Be observant, both outwards and inwards.

I would think Law..but ya know..every job has something unbearable about it..at least that's what I gather from listening to lots of people talk.

Law wins easy. plush offices versus portacabins on dodgy construction sites. Doctors and Lawyers own our asses!
