I remember nearly passing out due to chemical favors from one of the experiments. That was fun.

I would have enjoyed Wall Street much more than engineering. I had no idea what engineering was when I went into it, and by the time I figured out that it was basically relatively unsafe grunt technology work at the lower levels, I wanted out.

Law really isn't any better, though. I've concluded that it's just work, in general, that's going to be painful, repetitive, unpleasant, and generally meaningless. After all, it's a job, and you're not doing it to get enjoyment or satisfaction out of it. You do it to continue eating.
