Hey i'll be working in may after I graduate...any advice on housing? I'd like to utilize the transit system and live in a low rent/safe area. Looking for roommates starting in late May 06.
Anyone else in my position? I'd like to chat with a couple of other soon to be patent examiners. Shoot me an email at emchao@purdue.edu if you'll also be starting in May.

I will be graduating in May from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in Aerospace Engineering. A decent GPA. and some quite interesting research.
Qualified?

Not Working for the USPTO

I *thought* I wanted to apply for an examiner position but the more I read about the USPTO online, the less attractive it looks. Working "voluntary overtime" comes up in quite a few google searches. It seems the old patent examining quota system and increased complexity of newer patents are not compatible.
From what I've read, they don't allow enough time to do a good job so you end up working for free, assuming your conscience won't allow you to push shoddy work through.
I could be wrong, but that's the general impression I have after a year or so of reading studies, etc. Is it really that bad up there?
