As stated above, the route I would suggest would be to work towards becoming an Expert Witness and consultant - even the lawyers are beholden to them. Expert witnesses hold the keys to the castle.....and bank.
Regardless, IMO you need your PE, then start stacking credentials and certifications. We cannot hire anyone who is not a PE. Then start into the Expert Witness fields.
As an even more unique area, get your PE and then start obtaining all your safety certifications, go back to school and get your CSP (certified safety professional). Folks with a CSP designations generally make more money as a consultants than most attorneys. Plus you set your own schedule.
You know the difference between a dead skunk and dead lawyer on the highway. There are at least skid marks in front of the skunk. Everyone hates lawyers until you need one.
