<p>I’m planning on being recruited for the C.I.A. I fully expect all of the cool James Bond-esque gear, awesome clothes, exciting missions, and most of all, six figure salary. Also, I’m considering becoming Batman. I heard it pays really well.</p>
<p>Just kidding…I want to go to grad school, then probably work in environmental research of some sort. Which pays like crap, but I’d really enjoy it. I’d also love to work for National Geographic - that’d be awesome.</p>
<p>“Patent law specifically, though? You need a technical undergrad degree - engineering or hard science. Depending on the specific field you’ll be practicing in, obviously. It’s more difficult to get into patent law than other areas of law because of this. It might be more lucrative, especially once you start bringing in your own work.”</p>
<p>I’m currently in engineering school. Given that one has an engineering degree, how much harder is patent law to get into than anything else. Does it still require I be at the top of my class and whatnot?</p>
<p>Job: maybe something in public health, maybe something for the government (DHS), maybe law enforcement (local, state or Federal), maybe the military et al (Army or Air Force, or CIA or NSA).</p>
<p>Salary: 50-60K a year, although 40 would be OK if the cost of living is very low.</p>
<p>I want to **** the Benjamins.</p>
<p>I want a salary and/or job that allows me to travel a lot and/or live in Europe. If not after college graduation, then after graduate school.</p>
<p>I want $40k/year.</p>
<p>There’s no way I’m getting it. I expect $20k/year, with any luck.</p>
<p>just curious, what kind of professions would you consider after getting you MBA? I’m considering getting an MBA but I want to be more clear of how it’s going to help me.</p>
<p>160k starting salary? wow</p>
<p>$14 an hour after taxes.</p>
<p>Who on earth needs $160,000 a year to live?!?!</p>
<p>“Who needs 160k a year to live?”</p>
<p>Well…a lot of people want to be able to maintain their childhood lifestyle if they grew up in a privileged household. No one actually needs 160k, however this is america and we’re not all about what we need to live, but rather what we WANT. I know personally I want to be able to see the results from my hard work and be rewarded with a luxury lifestyle because of it.</p>
<p>“160k starting salary? wow”</p>
<p>That’s with a Law degree, not right out of undergrad.</p>
