I am pretty sure everyone could be a lawyer if they wanted to be. The couple of lawyers I have talked to about it say that it is all about hard work not smarts or any special skill.

I often feel similarly about machine-learning, until I try to explain it to someone who has no background in the subject and realize all the things they don't know.
