LSAT AND GMAT? Forum

Dude, Can I post this on JDU???.. Man, that would be trollism in style.

I don't know what JDU is or even what you're getting at here.... You still haven't responded to anything I said in my post/backed up any of your ridiculous claims. It's not even worth fighting with you about this anymore. You post some ridiculous comment with nothing to back it up, I rebut with one or two examples backing up my position, you post something completely random, and then we go back to the beginning. I hope you're not like this in law school.

Also, I didnt say you should not go into business law with JD. I just said you dont really need JD/MBA degree.

No one is even talking about needing a JD/MBA for business law. All I've been saying this entire thread is pursuing a JD/MBA can potentially be a very useful strategy depending on your long term goals...and all you've seemed to reply is "omigosh no way, no how, MBAs aren't real knowledge, they're useless for everything, you're going to be sad, no one on earth ever has or ever will use this degree combo for anything, the end." .....and when asked to back ANY of that up, you call my post a troll, and continue to provide 0 proof of anything you've said thus far in this thread.

Read the last 3 pages of posts. No, this is not 100%, or even really 70% true.

You need to look deep inside yourself. You only defend this idiocy because you want to get this degree. This gives you the false sense of security and you enjoy it. But you will be facing consequenses 4 years later. You still will be decieving yourself doing doc review that MBA helped you, but not for long.

P.S. I'm not getting this degree. I don't want to get/plan on getting this degree. I defend it because it is genuinely useful for some people depending on their career path.

If it is not a top school, you will be unemployed regardless wether it is just MBA or JD or JD/MBA combined

Statement = False

My MBA is not from a top school and I have a job. And no, I didn't already have the job when I got the degree.

On the technical side: Unless you have developed a new rocket, written out a full technical documentation for it (all the engines, fuels, cargo compartment, etc), had it critiqued by five or six real rocket scientists while doing a live [[computer]] simulation, had it critiqued by classmates and professors, tweaked it, gotten funded, dealt with cosmonauts, prototyped/built your rocket, been put in a REAL drivers seat as an astronaut, and made money for you and your investors.... then the Masters in Rocket Sciences can do a lot for you. I suspect most people have not gone through this process. These classes also consist of physics, where each electron revolves around a REAL nucleus that actually exists. You have to analyze the universe as a whole, its progress to date, its leadership, its strategy(s), write lengthy pointless papers and recommendations for the future.

You obviously don't know anything about rockets. My job is to develop and oversee manufacturing processes for rocket motors. I know rockets.

Thats stupid. Period. Prove bolded.

sure. this year's Harvard JD/MBA class has roughly the following breakdown of careers, showing that the degree is versatile and accepted in the marketplace by a number of employers:

3-4 law firm
3-4 consulting
2 i-banking
2 hedge-fund

the hedge-fund folks in particular got their job BECAUSE of the jd/mba. there are less than 400 people that have done the joint degree in the world from Harvard, and the alumni network is very receptive and willing to help out current students. That alumni network is far more exclusive than even YLS, with less than 10 graduates each year. There are also a substantial number of them in both the HF and private equity worlds.

pre-ITE, virtually all JD/MBA went into private equity, the most desirable field post MBA. I am sure if the employers were using your logic, they would have hired straight MBA students instead, and they easily could have picked some up from HBS because most of the class was seeking those jobs but did not get them.

Might as well ask: how realistic is it to get into law school, then apply for MBA during the first or second year? I'm assuming you'd have an "in"

you have an advantage, but not a guaranteed in. this usually depends on the relative "prestige" of the two programs. ex at NYU, the law school is considered better than the business school, so apparently JD-> MBA is a "take the gmat and get 700" type deal. Similarly, at Yale, you don't have to submit LOR etc. for the MBA application (if you are a 1L).

What we've been doing clearly isn't working. Since anything we put up proving our point, you just say "no way" to without backing up anything you're saying, we're going to do this the way it's done in real life; the real legal way:
We're the defense. We made a point (several actually with evidence) that you disagree with (that the MBA/JD is a useful degree combination in many circumstances depending on your career goals). It's your responsibility as the prosecution to prove we're wrong. Just like in real life, it's the not the defenses responsibility to prove we didn't break the law; it's the prosecutions responsability to prove we did.

In other words, since you seem to blatantly disregard all our evidence/comments without actually having any reason to or coming up with any proof showing otherwise, we're trying a new approach: We're right until you prove us wrong.

If you think it's such a useless degree combination, prove it. Thus far, you've shown no proof of anything backing up a single point you've made.

You won't. The end.

P.S. Oh yeah just some more light reading on people who have done amazing things with JD/MBAs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_JD/MBAs ... It clearly doesn't hurt to have, given everyone on this list is a partner, CEO, executive of some kind or assistant to the president.
