Generally, there is a heavy workload with this career, and stress is part of the job. Successful and well-educated patent lawyers can find themselves in especially high demand, and keeping hours down to an even remotely reasonable number can be a challenge. However, even this negative aspect has its upside, since patent lawyers entering the field in the next few years should find plenty of demand for their talents. Some travel may be involved in the work, and, of course, patent lawyers must be able to work with a variety of people. In addition, these lawyers often have the benefit of having their intellectual curiosity satisfied by their work.
