I just got offered a position and this legal clause sounds like anything I make, for the company or on my own becomes the companies property. Is this true?
You agree that you will promptly make full written disclosure to the Company, will hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company, and hereby assign to the Company, or its designee, all right, title, and interest in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, improvements, designs, discoveries, ideas, trademarks or trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar laws, which are solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice, during the period of time you are an employee of the Company (collectively referred to as “Inventions”). You further acknowledge that all original works of authorship which are made by you (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and during the period of your employment with the Company and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act.

I was wondering the lists of jobs/careers that will pay 100k/year after around 5 years of experience not including the schooling. I’m fine with going to school for 4-7 years MAX, would really prefer not to go to school more than that. I’m 21 (just turned 21 two days ago) and I have not been to college yet. I do have my high school diploma but a very poor GPA. I’m not stupid but I did have a hard life. I didn’t make my life hard for myself by partying and drinking but it involves more with parents/etc. I don’t mean to make ‘excuses’ for myself but life does have extreme difficulties that I couldn’t avoid and that’s just the way it is.
I grew up in a poor home, been homeless a couple times and didn’t have a lot of anything so I would love to change that for myself and my family and my future family.
I’ve done some research and I first was planning on becoming a psychologist. I couldn’t handle that though, I don’t have tough skin and I couldn’t ‘handle’ other peoples problems. I have enough of my own. Then interior design, I don’t have the niche for it I don’t think. Then computer science but I know I would hate doing that for the rest of my life.
So, besides those and besides anything to do with dentists, doctors/nurses and sales I was wondering what else pays around 100k/year, with around 5 years experience(not talking about right out of college) and 4-7 years of college(any Colleges you recommend in Illinois?).
Thank you all for your time!
P.S. I love inventing things!! I have around 10-15 inventions that are currently not available, but I did not check if it has already been patented though. How do I do that without a big rich guy/corp. stealing it? I know patenting sometimes isn’t the best way to go.
