Business Degree and BigLaw?
Out of curiosity, to what extent might having a business-related undergraduate degree aid one in obtaining a biglaw gig? Particularly one that involves corporate/transactional work?
I haven't heard that it's really any benefit, but I'm just wondering.

Sort of confirms what I'd thought. Of course, law degrees are in similar oversupply, with regards to "dime a dozen"...joshikousei wrote:agreed. dime a dozen.mallard wrote:Really doubt that it'll help you.

No - "a dime a dozen" means you can buy a dozen of them for a dime. So he'll be in a situation where he's worth 100/144 cents (or 25/36), about $0.70.adh07d wrote:a dime a dozen x a dime a dozen = you're about a dollar in a dollar 44

second of all, I thought it meant "there are 10 of them for every 12" as in, he is just like everyone else. AKA the given attribute is something very ordinary and indistinguishable.
