We have a position open for a patent attorney at our firm, preferably an electrical engineer. This position is not for everyone, because we are offering a different mix of work environment than the usual law firm. Frankly, a patent attorney with an EE can make more money in Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Denver, Washington D.C., or any city in the country. However, the more pay is offered, the more hours of work are expected, and often the less that pay will buy.
Our position is for a 40 hours a week job, and there is a huge opportunity for growth in income in the position.
In the 1950s, Southern California was a paradise. Not too many people, not too much crime, not too much pollution, not too much traffic, perfect weather, varied geophraphy. Boise is that now, except no beaches. A season pass at Bogus Basin ski resort, 35 minutes from town, is $235. Tamarack Ski Resort is 1.5 hours away, and Sun Valley Ski resort is 3 hours wasy.
There are something like 15 moutain ranges in Idaho, such as the Sawtooths, Pioneers, Boulders, White Clouds, Lost Rivers, Boise, Smokeys, Boulders, and on and on. On a holiday weekend anywhere in the mountains, you often find mountain lakes with no people at all backpacking. For hiking and backpacking Idaho is comperable to the Sierra Nevada, but more accessible, and better than the Cascades of Washington by far. There is world famous rock climbing at the City of Rocks.
Economically and socially, there is a symphony orchestra here, professional ballet company, plenty of concerts, and lots of jobs of all kinds. The pay is probably quite a bit less here than other places, but for $175,000 you can get a new house, for $500,000 you can buy a super nice 6 bedroom place with a view in an exclusive neighborhood in the foothills.
Fly fishing and steelhead fishing are available in downtown Boise, and all over the state. Idaho has the best white water river sports in the lower 48 states. There is an extensive mountain bike trail system in the foothills around Boise.
Idaho has more hot springs than any other state not counting Yellowstone park, and within two hours of Boise are about 15 hot springs, which are pretty nice to hit after a hike or bike ride.
So if these qualities sound good to you, drop us a letter and resume. Here are some teaser photos of Idaho mountain scenes.
