I mean, in terms of employment aspects, not all hard science majors are born equal. Especially traditional hard sciences like pure mathematics, physics and life sciences, while they are tippy top in terms of academic rigor, many students find it hard to snag a relevant job offer. In this case, if someone goes through law school and decides to do patent law, just for example, he will be much more employable than with a not-so-marketable undergrad major.
Yes I do plan to study intellectual property/patent law in law school
