[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does she have a PhD in CS? [b]That's totally unnecessary.[/b] Does she work in academia? If so, she needs to jump to private industry to make more. Law degree is a waste of time and money. Attorneys that make 500K hate their lives. My friends in patent law were making less than me starting out in pharma sales. [/quote] I don't understand this comment. She went to one of the best universities in the world and got a PhD in an area she's interested in. She didn't go into academia because she said she didn't want to publish all the time. I think she should go into academia, but now she's got this patent law idea planted in her head. [/quote] It's unnecessary to work in industry, where the money is. If she wants money all she needs to do is leave academia. However, industry views her PhD as excessive. It only makes sense if you need a green card.[/quote]
