Law School or Grad School?
I have been accepted to a Graduate School for Museum Studies and a Law School. However, I cannot decide where I should go. I truly love both professions. Law is interesting and can lead to a very successful career. I love to argue, perform, and criminal law would be something I could do passionately. Museum Studies prepares one for a career in being a museum curator. I love curatorial work and have some experience. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Re: Law School or Grad School?
I will say something that everyone will tell you on this site: DO NOT GO TO LAW SCHOOL UNLESS YOU ARE SURE YOU WANT TO BE A LAWYER. The other variables do not matter if you are not set on being a lawyer.user24242424 wrote:I have been accepted to a Graduate School for Museum Studies and a Law School.

I hope that helps!

Re: Law School or Grad School?
What law school have you been accepted at?
I'm not going to say law is right for you. But museum studies?! Have you looked at the job postings for a museum studies grad from a top program? They are terrible. Seriously, ppl cling to those jobs until death. And you will likely never be a curator with just museum studies graduate degree. If you're lucky, you'll work a couple of part-time jobs putting together children's programs and float above the poverty line. Caveat: I know ppl who are doing this and are thrilled with life; however, $ are zero concern for them.
Good luck
