It really depends on how your market yourself and what you want to do.

You could just go to law school and forget the Ph.D., if you would rather write patents for others than doing the inventing yourself or leading R&D. Me, I’ve got invent!

The Ph.D. makes you more expensive and may not help if you are marketing yourself as a patent agent. On the other hand, for R&D or for management where a Ph.D. is helpful, the patent agent aspect can be sold as an added benefit to help you be more effective in developing IP or guiding strategy. I have a Ph.D. and felt that later becoming a patent agent helped me a lot in terms of generating IP and helping to guide IP strategy.

I now would like to become a patent attorney in biotechnology, and I’m contemplating just going to law school instead of getting a PhD.

From your experience do employers prefer PhDs over Bachelor prepared patent agents and attorneys?

]]> Comment on Verbal Self-Defense by wtkeeney https://www.jefflindsay.com/verbal-self-defense/#comment-377 Tue, 20 Mar 2007 18:31:12 +0000 https://www.jefflindsay.com/blog/2006/verbal-self-defense/#comment-377 Funny- my father taught me the “Boring Baroque Response” technique (though he didn’t call it that) back when I was in the 3rd grade. I’m 38 now and I still remember the response word for word.
To make a long story short, there was a bully who was constantly teasing me about being the shortest in the class, and being the top student as well. After getting caught cheating from my paper during a test, he threatened to beat me up after school, and continued threatening me for several days. Somehow I managed to get home unscathed each day, and finally told my father about the threats.
He said he’d talk to the teacher, but in the meantime taught me the “Boring Baroque Response”. His had a twist though. It was actually very threatening- even from a little girl half his size. But to a stupid and ignorant 3rd grade bully, it was just a bunch of big words he didn’t understand, and it was the fact that he didn’t understand it that made it threatening, even though the meaning of the words were threatening, themselves.
My father told me to say it with a smile, in a very matter-of-fact, calm and normal voice, and I was to say it everytime the boy threatened me.
It went like this:
“If you attempt that manuever, I shall pummel you soundly on or about the head and shoulders with a means likely to produce grevious bodily harm.”
Not sure if it was my repeated response to his repeated threats that prevented me from actually being tortured, or if was just the grace of God. Either way, THANKS DAD!

]]> Comment on “Prophecy”: A New Poem by Jerry Long by wtkeeney https://www.jefflindsay.com/new-poem-by-jerry-long/#comment-376 Tue, 20 Mar 2007 15:54:11 +0000 https://www.jefflindsay.com/blog/?p=7#comment-376 Well, you nailed it Jeff. Aboslutely brilliant and powerfully written.
I could feel the desperation and longing as I read. I hope it wasn’t written from his personal perspective though, but maybe from the perspective of a non-believer. Either way, it’s so brilliant— and so WRONG! There’s a little “oxymoronism” for you.
Despite his clear knowledge of science, philosophy and religion, he’s been left with nothing and, as he states is, “alone”. The poem is clearly a demonstration in his disbelief or serious cynicism of existence of God and of prophecy. Ironically though, his feelings and beliefs (or lack there of) were PROPHESIED by Paul in Timothy 3:
” 1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be…proud, blasphemers…unthankful, unholy…false accusers, heady, highminded… 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof…. 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. ”
My heart aches for him.

]]> Comment on Get Out of Debt – or Die by sravi https://www.jefflindsay.com/get-out-of-debt-or-die/#comment-44 Tue, 24 Oct 2006 03:28:46 +0000 https://www.jefflindsay.com/blog/2006/get-out-of-debt-or-die/#comment-44 yeah. i agree. personal finance must be made a compulsory part of every schools curriculum. whats the point in enriching the young with minds and tools to make money, if you dont teach them on how to invest it. I would actually say, go a step further and teach them the value of money. the true value.
e.g.: kids must be allowed to work in the school premises and be given points which can buy them dollars. this money will entitle them to a better cgpa.

a friend uses parts of the ebook worksheet from bills.com on her kids to give them an idea of personal finance management. i am thinking of doing the same with my kids too

thanks for the great articles

Sounds like the UHP, and those who approved this nutty idea, are at least a couple of beers short of a six pack.
