Updates and charting a career path...

Many updates to provide, one of the most exciting being that I was accepted into the masters in biotechnology program here at the UW.

Now comes the part where I need to determine what direction I want to go with this new degree and set of skills.

As of recent, I was looking at some of the positions at the WARF , many involving commericalization of technology and intellectual property. One of the employees had this Patent Agent thing behind their title and so upon further research, I discovered that having a hard science bachelor's sets me up nicely for becoming a patent agent if I so choose.

There is a challenging exam akin to passing the law bar which a patent agent must study and sit for, but if you pass you become able to process patents and carry out the duties that come with it.

I think that would be a nice segue from what I do now and while it would not be in the lab science, it would still be getting to work at the forefront of that field if I so chose.
