How do you lead in the work place? How is leadership in the workspace transferable to the court room? And what shaped your idea of a leader? #Fall25

I want to go into patent law because I think it is an appropriate combination of my skills in engineering and in law. I want to understand what characteristics I need to have beyond these skills in order to excel.

Do I switch my major?????

I am currently a Mechanical engineering student, but I am dreading the rest of my classes. I love the design and problem solving, but hate the math/physics/theory side of things. Do I just push through the rest of my classes, or is mechanical engineering not for me?
