You might remember that I took a copyright class last semester and really liked it – so much so that I wanted to practice it after graduation. Well, after talking to someone who’s been practicing copyright for 20 years, I decided it’s not the best idea. Turns out most of the work in copyright is in NY and LA, two places I have no desire to live in. Also, the brother to copyright, patent law, is apparently where the business is. Copyright is a much more narrow field. So looks like I might have to be a tax attorney, which probably means another year of school after law school to specialize in tax. On the bright side, i can help you guys out when the Taxman comes a-knockin.

HF, someone who wasn't fond of Texas might suggest that Particleman missed the "sh" at the start "it." But that would not be me, of course.

too bad about the patent law thingy. late last year one of my ideas was selected for patent submission by the enormoco that i work for. this year my goal is to have at least 20 of my ideas submitted. i've started the process for 5 so far. some day i'll leave enormoco, but i won't stop thinking of stuff that needs patent protection. now i'll just have to hire you to get out of tax jams.

i talked to my professor. he had more bad news. lots and lots of people who like copyright flock to NY and LA. competition is stiff. looks like texas is it!...
