Do You Have Your Degrees Framed & on Display in Your Office?

 

[Zow]

BSBA in both Finance and Risk Management. Though it is not a degree I am CPA which requires more schooling. A couple classes away from completing my Master of Science in Predictive Analytics.

I also work in research, specifically survey research. I can confirm the bias reduction Em made up is not valid.

Sounds interesting, what is that like?

Its through Northwestern. Basically a hybrid of stats, MBA, and IT. The easiest comparison is applied statistics. Hits OLS, logistic regression, econometrics, time series, survival analysis, etc. Code in SAS and R primarily. Incredibly addictive and time consuming on top of FT work and 2 kids under 2. Would recommend if you are in a related field.

This degree and a linguistics degree are approximately the most fascinating things in the world. I could seriously sit down and listen to discussion on predictive analytics for hours.

The applicability of it is unlimited. It basically is the next step in statistics. The understanding of fitting a line to a dataset is not too difficult. Being able to take data, transform it to an exponent or a a natural log or a binary variable to get a more accurate result and then take that to forecast ten periods ahead all while taking into account inflation seasonal trends etc. is insanely fascinating.

I have many questions and a career path suggestion. My only request is that you consider making me your partner.

I'm happy to answer any questions and am open to suggestions. I cannot complain about my current job and pay which the degree is applicable...to some extent.

I'm absolutely certain you have a better job, and am 90% kidding, but wish to God I could find someone with your qualifications to do jury research with.

Could be a side gig in the future, but the ability to do it would drastically depend on the information you have on each jury member. As a non-lawyer, I am not sure what is the extent of this data.

I'd imagine he'd be looking at more macro data.

Mine is rolled up in a cylinder shipping tube in the corner of my office. Thought about hanging it but never got around to it.

My mother-in-law had my wife's and mine framed.

They were hung in the "office" room of our house, but those spots were replaced by our kid's Baptism pictures.

I think they are in a closet now.

Came in looking to go into environmental, but people have been pretty adamant that I should to keep my options open. Being a 1L, I don't get any chance to take electives until next fall, so I'd like to see what patent/ip law is like before I jump in.

If you are interested, keep your options at least open to it. There is serious, serious money to be made in being a patent attorney, and there are going to be a lot of future patents in power generation.

I'm looking at that background with a J.D., and just seeing huge dollar signs.

Cue up that awesome youtube video of every law student coming in wanting to do "meaningful" law.

Seriously man, not trying to dissuade any altruistic thoughts, but you have a giant advantage over the average law student with your engineering background. I know there is a patent law attorney who is a partner and on the hiring committee for a high-end patent law firm on this board who can probably be bribed for some info with booze or some sort of boring landscaping work.

It would be a waste of your acquired skills to apply them to jury-selection issues. You should become a fantasy football analyst instead.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

Half this board is lawyers. I refuse to claim that a JD is a doctorate, since that's an insult to the PhDs. Fix your pole

Yeah, I don't know which box to check. I mean, a J.D. takes only three years of schooling after earning a bachelor's degree, so it seems more like some kind of master's degree than a Ph.D. A Ph.D can theoretically be done in three years, but it usually takes more like six years, and involves making an original contribution to the field and defending a thesis. A J.D. seems like cake in comparison.

On the other hand, a J.D. isn't all that different from a bunch of other doctorate degrees that people don't have problems calling doctorates.

You get me wrong. I'm pro nuclear, and have a nuclear background. I lined up my first employment this summer, tossing around the NYS DEC or OAG EPB. But that's actually good to know. I honestly don't know much about the field, so my views may change. I can say I have an interesting background, and unlike alot of my fellow classmates, I came from the working world.
