I have already started reading law books because I want to be a GM in the NHL and for me to do that I either need to play in the NHL or I need to become a lawyer and since I'm not good enough to play in the NHL I'm going to try and become a lawyer.

I will not attack someone's dream. But I will say that I was accepted into law school, but turned away from it due to the cost-reward of having to complete an additional 3 years of education after already having two degrees. It's just a really difficult thing to be a successful (financially) lawyer nowadays because the profession is so flooded. But if that is the direction you want to go, then best of luck to you.
But you also should have a backup plan. Arrange your studies to pursue Law, but look for other jobs that might interest you by studying the same courses to keep the options open. If one fails, at least you educated yourself in the right line to pursue another career without wasting years of education over non-qualifications for something else you really would like to do. That has been the biggest mistake by University students in the last decade.

My family has one of the biggest companies in construction and manufacturing. So even if becoming a GM doesn't plan out my parents told me that they would hire me to be the company's lawyer so if anybody in the company is taken to court I would be their lawyer so I am secured. Plus I'm mostly going into law because I want to become a GM not because I want to be a lawyer so if I get hired to be a GM then I wouldn't have a problem.

Law books are not hard to read. I got a 92 in high school law class. At the time I was very interested in law as well, so I bought a copy of the Canadian Criminal Code and read most of that. Reading is reading. NOW, I will say, reading an explanation of an advanced theory in quantum mechanics or theoretical physics without having a basic understanding of the fiends to begin with can be confusing. I tried to get a more detailed grasp on a few of Stephen Hawkings theories after watching A Brief History of Time, and you need some pre-reading before diving into those But that is math, so I digress anyway.

I tried reading a book with Einstein's knowledge. Let's just say that didnt go to well.

Yeah, math can be incredibly complicated. Science I've lately gotten a hard on for. It's been exciting to read, and I'm still obsessed with history. I recommend "A Brief History on Nearly Everything" even in audiobook format (which is what I used while working) was incredibly fascinating and gave me a whole new understanding on our world. I tried reading a book with Einstein's knowledge. Let's just say that didnt go to well. He's readable, but the problem with Einstein is that he was a theorist, so much of the things he came up with are still in the works of being proven, or are completely refuted now. That's not to say he wasn't a smart guy, that's to say that he came out with new ideas of his era that were tested, and proven false (in a few cases) which actually HELPS science advance because all avenues need to be studied, understood and then understood why it does or does not work to advance other areas that could eventually aid in the quest of solving the other area's theory. Science is fucking amazing.

Yeah, the thing with math and science is they build on previous theory so much, you have to understand at least a bit of that to get into the good stuff.
And I will totally check that out at some point, Mikey.

It was worth it. It made me understand the expansion of life, how and why certain species have died off, and the absolute destruction humans have caused to nearly everything just by living.

Fun fact:
Einstein used Science to create Pi.

WikiGoogle will tell me, but I have no interest in WikiGoogling it.
