I have researched the requirements to sit for the patent bar. It is different than the normal bar exam. You can take some science courses and still sit for it. One does not need an engineering or science degree. I think its about 5-6 college level science courses. Not bad because if you pass it, you can work as a patent assistant and make about 70k a year while going to law school part time.
I have given thought to it.
Now my question is about the CFA- what does it buy you with no financial experience? Would it get me a job?
