My wife is still bugging me to try to get into a good law school.


What type of law would you be doing if you were going to go that route? /derail

That's part of the big problem.  My real interest is in ethics and in Constitutional law.

Not a lot of money or jobs open in that department.  Not paying ones anyway.

Particularly not enough to make the expense of going to a good law school worth it... not for quite a few years, anyway.


What... you're laughing?  I can be ethical and "pure evil" at the same time!  Honest!

Demo with a background in nuclear science (which I somehow always forget about...) you could walk into any law school's IP program. They looooove scientists.

But, there's a far cry between con law and IP law... (but not so much, the fields are merging slowly...)

And if you do go to law school, please let me know where you go to work. I need to make sure I never have to face you in court.  :wink:

Two things:

1) I thought hostilities meant 'pissed off', more or less. Perhaps I've been using the word incorrectly all my life. This saddens me.

2) NUCKEARA POWERR IS B?A?D !1

I'm on schedule to procure a job in the Biotech industry hopefully by the end of this year.  After that ideally they will pay for law school and I'll get into M&A or IP.  I've built several connections at Stanford so hopefully I can get in there.
