Quarter-life crisis! Any suggestions?

After much thought, I've decided to sit out a year instead of applying to law school for Fall 2013; the reason being that my chances of getting into a T1/T2 LS are severely diminished given that I would be taking the LSAT for the first time in February.
I want to pursue patent law, and I recently graduated from a good school with an engineering degree with a respectable GPA.
I want to pad my résumé by working and to put a ton of effort into boosting my LSAT score. What type of work opportunities exist for an engineering grad with future plans of attending LS to practice IP law? Should I settle for a firm that specializes in areas other than IP law, or would it best serve my purpose to strive for work at an IP firm? I want to get my foot in the door and to be able to get hands on experience in my desired area of practice.
Thanks for your input!
