Hi all,
I'm a 3L, and my Career Services office is pushing IP onto me because I have a BS in Computer Science. IP certainly appeals to me, but the trouble is that my CS degree, while from a pretty decent university, is also unaccredited. I've been applying for jobs that say that I must qualify to sit the Patent Bar, but I'm worried that I might not be able to.
Here's my background: I have a CS degree, a BS, that I got in 2002. The program has never been accredited. I took one physics course (with a lab) in my freshman year but did not take any other physics (or chemistry) courses.
After I graduated, I was in grad school, also for Computer Science, for a while. I did not complete the Master's, and I only got a small number of credits.
Between dropping out of grad school and going to law school, I worked for about year in the software industry. My title was Software Development Engineer, and I wrote and translated engineering programs.
What do people in my position normally do? Do I need to take another physics class? Would my work in the industry and on an incomplete Master's suffice? Am I entirely screwed?
Thanks in advance for any help.
