I am an Electronics Engineer with 10 years experience
working for mid-sized companies. I recently went back to
school and received my Master's Degree in EE.
NOW, I'm investigating my  
future prospects as an IP or Patent Attorney. 
Can anybody offer me info on job prospects
for an experienced MSEE who acquires a JD? i
I am told that although there are already plenty
of lawyers, there are not enough IP and Patent lawyers.
What are salary profiles for Engineers-turned-IP lawyers?

Any pointers on how I should proceed in serenading
law schools to accept me?  I have not yet taken the
LSAT.  My Undergrad GPA was a dismal 2.7, but my Graduate
GPA (and recent)  is 3.5.  I expect that I can do quite well on 
the LSAT.  Thanks for your input!
