I once thought like your Dad. I was the person that invented something and of course I knew it better than anyone else. BUT I got laid off anyway ... right after I trained my Red Chinese replacement ... that's no joke. My friend Chris has 14 patents and a PHd EE ... he's been out of work for almost 2 years now

Why didn't you or your friend go into patent law? Of all the lawyers out there they are the ones who can't be descibed as "ambulance chasers". They actually do protect intellectual property and make a nice living at it.

Or would you rather bitch about how bad things are.

Oh yeah you're in California aren't you. Davis's ramapnt socialism in your state had nothing to do about your friends current plight, did it.

"Why didn't you or your friend go into patent law?"

So they should have read the future to know what field to get into so they'd be employed come 2003?

Or are you saying they should go back to school to become lawyers? Since they are umemployed, they have no money for school. How do you feel about government grants for higher education?

Though I would love to blame Red Davis ... his plight is due to the Federal H1B program ... BTW Chris is very conservative. He has become an author ... kinda pays the bills for him but he's still looking for an engineering position. One does NOT just throw a career away.
