Should I choose to earn a masters instead of a B.S. for compsci (computer
science) degree for patent attorney? I have a JD and a Hospital Admin B.S. I love computer science, writing and wish to be a patent attorney due to the interesting material and good pay/lifestyle. I have been accepted to sit for the patent exam, this summer. I plan on getting a masters in computer science for the technical expertise that I need for a patent law career.
My hope is that someone from an IP firm (hopefully a compsci patent attorney) can shed some light on my plan: 1. Does anyone think a masters is a bad career move? (should I get a bachelors instead? Cons: It takes a year or two longer and may not look as good as a masters to firms.) 2. Is the assumption that most patent attorneys work 40 or less hours for higher than average pay delusional? What website might there be to compare salaries/hours of patent attorneys to other areas of law?
