I realize you're kidding, but just so you (and more importantly, others) know... There are a lot of very well respected robot designers in FIRST who aren't engineers, and aren't interested in becoming an engineer. Also, there are many lawyers who have engineering degrees, some of which had been in that profession before they turned to law.
I spent about an hour or so composing a post meant for this thread about 8 hours ago. I was put off by a few of KenWittlief's comments about lawyers and the whole devil thing. I've since decided not to unleash hell, as was my original reaction, in favor of just saying how disappointed I am that someone would say that all people in one group deserve to be prejudged as evil or otherwise demonized.
