What should an aspiring patent lawyer major in as an undergraduate in college? -

i am an aspiring patent lawyer. i have recently graduated from high school and am entering college. i would like to practice medical patent law in the future but don t know what to major in as an undergraduate that would help get me there.

Engineering (mechanical or chemical) or a biological sciences degree such as biochemistry are probably your best bets. It depends somewhat on what you mean by medical. If you want to work with medical devices and surgical instrumentation, then mechanical engineering degree is the best. If you are talking about drugs and biotechnology, then biochemistry, molecular biology, etc. are good choices.

go 2 yer local college amp; find the student services/sucess ctr amp; ask an advisor. they ll b best able 2 help u. i m under the care amp; guidance of college advisors because i m called 2 become an astronaut. in fact a lady sat down w/ me @ Nasa Glenn @ the 50 yr anniversary open house amp; i was guided over 2 my local OSU 7 major in Aerospace 2 give me a better chance @ space flight.

Also consider getting an undergrad in Paralegal studies. It will give you an advantage in Law School. Just make sure to check with your counselor of your current University and wherever you are choosing to go to law school. You want to make sure all your credits / classes are transferable to the law school so you do not waste your money or time.
