| thanks for you input xleper.
as said before, there is really no "best" major, it all depends on what you want to do. if i were hiring i would not hire a someone who has no technical background for computer and electronics IP, thus an engineering degree would be necessary.
my uncle is a patent attorney for fairly large firm and has recently had a supreme court case and he said they dont really care about undergrad- its all about the law school and lsat.
"He also added that the prestige of the grad school doesn't mean that the guy/girl will be a great lawyer. He only has 4 Ivy league graduates and most of the others are from USC, UCLA and UCB (all very good in their own way). But he won't meet with an applicant if they came from Pepperdine Law School or below, he told me that their writing is consistently under-par and they come to him with a sob story to appeal to his emotions."
in my uncle's team there are 9 people and worst of them being an UCLA law school grad. and he really looks at peoples work habits. he doesnt really like 2 people in his team( northwestern and chicago) because their lack of aggressiveness and proactive-ness. if think he would meet with a pepperdine law school grad, if they can prove that they are better than a harvard or yale law grad.
xleper- i think there is a possibility that your dad and my uncle know each other. we were on the side that recently went to court against LG (LG vs Quanta). awesome experience, but sub 30 degrees weather was not fun. |
