"NO."  The answer is, "No."  To begin with, the industry is in an unimaginable crisis, and no one knows how long this is going to last.  There are excellent, qualified abstractors out there today--who cannot find jobs, and they have been abstracting and examining for years. 

If it is research you love, try getting qualified to be a paralegal researcher.  That way you can do something you love and be in a variable industry that is not likely to go away.  Anyhow, that's my take . . .
