[quote=Anonymous]Second all the recommendations for your daughter to get a patent examiner job at the USPTO. You say she’s shy, introverted, and wants to make more money. $500k+ is a lot of money, but it sounds like she’d be happier just making *more* money than what she’s making now. USPTO will give her that, plus a much better work/life balance than a big law attorney. At the USPTO, she’d be allowed to WFH full time, so she wouldn’t even have to relocate to the DC area. She doesn’t even really have to interact with anyone besides her boss. She’d start at GS-7/9 and can move up to GS-14 as a primary examiner in ~3-4 years. By then, hopefully she would be really efficient at examining, and she can even “work OT” and still keep her hours at 40/week, while pulling in ~170k+. All this to say, working as an examiner will give her exposure to this field to see if she likes it enough to pursue law school, while earning decent money. [/quote]
