Career possibilities for MA IR w/ focus in Int'l Law

<p>I've been playing around with the idea of doing a JD+LLM these days, but the prospect of going to law school for 4 years sounds terrifying both mentally and financially, especially with the decrease in demand for lawyers these days.</p>

<p>My original plan has been to do IR in grad school, but I'm not interested in working for the UN or an NGO. I want to work with private international law. Will this be a possibility if I choose to study IR in grad school but with a concentration/focus in International Law?</p>

<p>Is being a legal consultant viable with simply an MA?</p>
