In my former job, I used to tell my electrical engineering students, "a mind is a terrible thing to waste, so don't go to law school."
Not all lawyers are a waste of intelligence, but with so many of them and so few ambulances to chase, the ones who really contribute to the greater good are getting harder to find.
Maybe someday we'll have so many engineers and scientists that they'll run out of useful work to do and run amok, threatening the world with needless innovation? No, I guess that won't happen.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
