Lawyers exist to complicate simple things, and to frustrate the attempt of good people to make laws which are clear.

I missed that one. I would add that the humanities and social sciences are dedicated to the same purpose.

The “humanities and social sciences” are what most lawyers major in as undergraduates. Fields where you cannot BS your way to a degree, like engineering or hard science, do not attract future lawyers.
