engineer/lawyer
(OP)
Hey guys,
Does anyone here have both an engineering degree and is also a lawyer? I am thinking about going to school to get a law degree and maybe become a patent lawyer. Any thoughts?
Thanks

It's a good idea. The world will be a much better place with more lawyers and fewer engineers.

I have a good friend that practices Tort Law and the stories he has told me it's no wonder lawyers have a bad image.

Me, I'm waiting for the clock to tell me when I can start my weekend.
RE: engineer/lawyer
You ain't the only one waiting for that. I'm sitting here watching ProE take two and a half million years to regen and just waiting, waiting, waiting......
Roll on 5:30, off to watch my son play cricket (always good for a laugh), a couple of bears once the kids are in bed and maybe a film...

I was pretty sure you were some kind of super mountain-man, one bear is tough, two is amazing.

200-300k is not out of the question if they are consulting and busting their butts doing it. But i think its rare. I know a CAD operator that charges 150/hour for freelance work and does quite well. He has a nice 7 bedroom house ;) Wish it was still the good ol days of working for Automotive. I miss those times ;)
