<p>I'm currently a junior and still haven't really decided what I want to major in. My dad suggested "scientific-law", writing patents for new discoveries or something like that. Can someone tell me the actual name of that kind of a major? People are also suggesting "Engineering" but the term is so broad that I don't know where to start researching about it. </p>
<p>Could anyone suggest other majors? I'm really good with computers but don't want to major in Comp Sci because I find programming boring and I think the pay is a little low from what I've heard. I love graphics - photoshop, web design, etc. but it seems like those jobs are also low paying? I'm basically looking for something that pays well but doesn't bore me to death. I'm really not interested in the medical field - maybe tech/med but definitely not medical by itself.</p>
<p>Could anyone recommend colleges that might be suitable for this major? I'm hoping to stay within California but am willing to go out of state for a better school that suits my interests.</p>
<p>Ah found it, thanks! Is there a main category that Patent Law falls under? What schools should I be looking for if I want to major in that? I also heard that it was good to do double majors (I'm thinking about combining it with comp sci since I have a talent in cs)?</p>
<p>Could anyone answer the other questions as well?</p>
<p>Law school is a professional school that comes after you get your bachelors. You could double major, sure. Just be sure to get a degree in type of science or engineering otherwise you won't be of much use (won't be able to understand what you're defending/suing enough).</p>
<p>Looking for schools, just choose one that's strong in the field of science or engineering that interests you. Be sure to take the pre-law tract or equivalent offering as that will best prepare you for the LSAT and law school.</p>
<p>I don't know too much about patent law though, sorry.</p>
<p>So I should choose an engineering school and then go to law school after? I heard that Patent Law didn't sue/defend but merely wrote patents for companies. Would I still need to go to law school?</p>
