[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Patent examiner here. Work life balance is great! Working from home all the time, flexible hours, so I can handle kids activities and work easily. I have a law degree but still prefer staying at PTO because of this reason. But this is just me. You can take the PTO job to see if you like patent work. If you like it, maybe go to part time law school and have PTO pay the tuition. A couple of years examiner experience is a plus. But I heard staying at PTO too long won’t help. If you don’t like patent work, you can retake the LSAT and go to some top law school full time trying other directions. [/quote] This, but it really depends on your life priority. If you end goal is partner of a big firm, the I'd take the advice of most here and get into the best school you can and gun from there. But if you're looking to have a comfortable life with kids while being an active parent, go the USPTO route. [/quote]
