I have to respectfully disagree with this advice. Overall, most corporations rely on outside counsel and have very small or no in-house counsel groups. The larger companies that do have in-house counsel tend to hire attorneys that have served as outside counsel for the corporation. Furthermore, if you work as an attorney for a large firearms manufacturer, you probably won’t be spending much time with firearms. You would be dealing mostly with transactional work, intellectual property, and managing outside counsel, i.e. traditional lawyer stuff.Law.
Sounds like you have it better figured out than a lot of people. Took me a while to really figure it out, in fact after I found myself totally outside my field. I'd love to go back, but I've figured out how to thrive wherever I am. Still wouldn't do sales or marketing
Thanks everyone for your input and suggestions! Boy do I love INGO!
In some or another I have now researched many of the idea's you all had, and some where very helpful! So thanks again. Especially the multiple with unique idea's.
To clear up the OP for some, I'm natural and enjoy both engineering and sales. I am gunning for a career in fire arms (pun intended ) because its a passion of mine and while I could market a Ford Taraus just fine, I know that I can do much better with something I have my heart in (like most people).
Thanks again! You all had such great thoughts, that you deserve three thanks.
From my contacts at Purdue those grads that are working at firearm makers have degrees mostly in Mechanical Engineering. I know of one individual who majored in Chemistry/Chemical Engineering that works at an ammunition maker.
Tool and die gig while studying for your engineering degree?
Depends on what they need, yeah? Maybe hit the NRA meeting in St. Louis this coming spring and go talk to the companies (they are all there) and see what they need.
