<p>^Well, I’m a bit stuck between choosing a route that would let me start making money asap after my bachelor’s or going for a more well-rounded approach for patent law.</p>
<p>Part of me wants to just acquire a Finance degree and start making $50K or more right out of college, while the other part of me wants to a double major of CS and Finance, work one year, and then apply to law schools offering a JD/MS in CE joint degree.</p>
<p>I think the best solution would be to acquire my BS in CS, BA in Finance (to pad my GPA), work one year (while saving some money), and then go to a top law school offering a JD/MS in CE joint degree.</p>
<p>I think having a bachelor’s in computer science and a master’s in computer engineering would make me a more well-rounded patent attorney regarding software and hardware patents, as well as a more competitive applicant for work after law school.</p>
<p>What do you guys think?</p>
