Business school or Law school

Graduate School Law School
1

<p>I don't know if I want to go Law school or Business school after graduation. My question is would my major have an effect on my acceptance into these grad schools? I'd rather major in something like sociology, crimonolgy or history because I find those areas of study more interesting as opposed to Business Economics which I've heard all the upper div classes are math type classes can anyone clarify?</p>

<p>P.S.
Sorry I know this sounds like an unclear rambling but I would appreciate your assistance.</p>

<p>Most graduate business programs require for most students that they have a minimum of two and often an average of five years of post-graduation work experience before they apply. I would suggest that you first get yourself through college before deciding whether working for a few years after graduation before attending business school or law school or trying to get into law school straight out of undergrad is the right path for you.</p>

<p>Business school is a lot easier and less time-consuming than law school. Just keep that in mind.</p>

<p>Based on your CC username, litigation or divorce work is in your future.</p>

<p>You can do both - many schools have joint Law&MBA programs. Alternatively, getting a CPA is excellent.</p>

<p>As one of the major books on this subject "How to Get into a Top Law School" says:</p>

<p>People who apply to law school often do so with the belief that it is a very flexible major that allows you to work in a wide variety of fields. Nothing could be further from the truth. An MBA degree is the one that allows you to do this. A law degree is extremely rigid and is designed solely for the person who plans to work as a lawyer for the rest of their life.</p>

<p>P.S. The writer of this book also wrote the companion book: "How to Get into a Top Business School".</p>

<p>My point is--you should either want to be a lawyer and study law or you shouldn't--but don't think this is a stepping stone to a multi-faceted ever-changing career.</p>

<p>Only go to law school if you want to become a lawyer.</p>

<p>MBA is the more flexible degree. You can move fluidly between private and public sectors and get paid a higher salary.</p>

<p>Employers highly value management and teamwork skills.</p>
