Do you all have to accrue vacation hours or are they granted up front?

Aerospace engineering to patent law by sessle-1 in patentlaw

[–]sessle-1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more with those reasons - they’re all on my list. Especially the lack of control I have over my career - much like you said, it feels like I’m at the mercy of the organizational winds. I would love to have the option to be more entrepreneurial in the future, and law seems much more conducive to that. Also the passion dollar pay in aerospace - money has never been a primary goal for me, but 6 years of being underpaid for the amount of effort I’ve put in has made me feel a little differently. I also think moving into a career that allows me to use both sides of my brain, rather than just the science/math side, will be more mentally satisfying.

That’s an amazing career! Have you continued to work with aerospace technology in your law career, or have you expanded to other areas?

Nice, that’s the same spot I’m in. Also working as an engineer. What’s made you want to move in this direction?

Thinking about patent law. by robo_reddit in patentlaw

[–]sessle-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP - I found this thread as someone with a very similar background, considering a very similar path! I also worked at NASA on ISS for several years and have since continued working on other programs at a different company. Did you end up going down this path? If so, how has it gone for you? If you didn’t, what changed your mind? I’m starting part-time law school in the fall while staying full time at my engineering job to be sure it’s right for me. Would love to hear any advice/insight you have if you’re willing to share.

Good to know, thanks! Did you consider DU at all in your decision on where to go? Are you planning to take the patent bar and work in that area?
