Former steam valve monitoring engineer here.

Out of curiosity, how did you go from nuclear engineer to being a lawyer? Or was the transition the other way around?

Genuinely curious.

I have a BS/MS in Electrical & Computer Engineering. For a while I designed/manufactured sensor systems. Our customers were nuclear plants, oil refineries, chemical plants, etc. My company had a line of products that monitored steam valves, among other systems.

For a bunch of reasons I decided to go back to law school and added that skill.

So now I operate at the intersection of law, management/operations, and engineering for small companies. So far it is working out as a good niche.
