[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all, this is a sobering thread. I'm an NP who has been considering this since a relative started a part time law program at a regional school for only $13k a year (they place into a lot of public service work that relative wants to do). I'm a fed with a PhD stuck around $100k, looking around at my attorney friends all just making way more money, both in fed and private, and feeling like I wasted my brains. But if the odds of substantially increasing incomes are THAT bad...oh well.

I do have a route to a part time, free or low cost MBA through my spouse's job, but am not sure that would actually be helpful for advancement from a lesser known school. Feel free to chime in on that one! [/quote]
Does that PhD happen to be in STEM? If so, you can probably find a patent agent job and maybe even get part time law school paid for. [/quote]

Nope. Social science, unfortunately.  I work in environmental review currently. [/quote]. Look for jobs at DOI- lots of environmental scientist / geologist positions at GS 13 and 14.[/quote]

Hahaha thanks. I'm a GS-12 in DOI (entry level with PhD is 11). In theory I have the experience to move up, but I'm still putting in applications. [/quote]
