You have no idea what you are getting yourself into with EE - Calc 1 isn't even close to the amount of math and theory that goes into it. Besides that, as others have mentioned, it's going to take you ALOT of time to graduate. EE isn't a subject that you can just push yourself through - you have to really like it.
On another note, I have had several people in my classes that were lawyers that were going back to school just to do patent law. So, it is doable. I don't think a law firm would really care about your previous schooling. To be honest, patent lawyers are in such high demand they'll take anyone with a background.
Keep in mind that most all engineering schools are small so all the 1st, 2nd year and alot of the third year courses are during the days. You can't really work fulltime and go to school.... unless you have a very flexible job.
Good Luck! |

"To be honest, patent lawyers are in such high demand they'll take anyone with a background"......<- is this true? I don't think it's in this much of a demand. You still need to show you're a competent engineer to do patent prosecution, correct? Just having an EE degree from "Harvey Mudd College of Engineering" is not necessarily enough, is it?
