JD/MBA

Post by acirilli1722 » Fri Jan 14, 2011 4:30 am

I will be heading to law school upon graduation and as a finance major I have been drawn to the idea of a JD/MBA. Does anybody know how useful getting a dual degree is compared to just getting a JD. Will it actually be helpful in getting a job or is it just another year of school and tuition to get more degrees to frame.

If you have 0 work experience, then (1) you probably won't get into the MBA component and (2) the MBA isn't going to do much for you.

also, run a search for JD/MBA. This topic has been hashed and rehashed several times.
