Congrats on breaking into public as an older guy. Most people I know who started public as a second career or later in life weren't able to keep up with the pace or stand being bossed around by 27 year olds.

You can be an accountant with only a master's? Not to mention get into a master's of accounting program with only some community college courses? Damn. I have thought of going back to do a bachelor's in accounting, but it's about $13k/year for 4 years -- time and money are HUGE deterents. In retrospect, I think I'd have been much happier if I went the accounting route from the start.

High School -> Chemistry Major -> Government Scientist -> Government contract operations representative -> patent examiner -> law school -> student associate in large firm -> patent attorney in large firm -> in-house patent counsel -> senior patent attorney in a small firm (current).
And to think I told folks in high school that I was going to be a cook or a cop.
Pretty impressive to go from chem major to patent attorney. :thumbsup:
