You are an idiot. Most IP work is trademark, copyright, or transactional. You don't need a technical degree for any of that. You don't even need a technical degree for patent litigation, I've done it myself and I'm an econ guy. You only need a technical degree if you want to do patent prosecution (i.e. register and defend new patents). Very few people in intellectual property groups do that.
Michelle Obama had a prestigious well-paying job at Sidley. There is no story here.
Well then. If you want to get into insults. You are a fools idea of a fool.
