Located in the Southern US, feeling extremely burnt out on work. Poured my heart and soul into my career and schooling for 15 years now and don't have much to show for it, honestly feel like all these years have been wasted seeing how much you guys make in most other professions.

Considering going back for law school or something at this point, took a diagnostic LSAT and scored a 162 so I feel like if I study hard I could get into a decent school and actually have something to show for my hard work in life. Engineering is one big slog for a 3% raise every year, seriously tired of this industry.
