<p>Right now, I'm a Mechanical Engineering student. I do not want to work as an engineer, as I have very high financial aspirations, and because I am very intrigued by the business world. I'm in engineering for my undergrad because i'm outstanding at it, and because I don't see anything better to take at a bachelors level.</p>
<p>After my 4 year BSc in MechE, I want to do a joint LLB/MBA program (for those of you that don't know, the LLB is a law degree). I don't want to do criminal or international law, but possibly patent or corporate law. I also wouldn't mind doing I-Banking. To be honest, I don't really have a straight career path that I've set for myself yet. I just want to do something business related that will make me a ton of cash. Will an engineer with a law degree and an MBA be a hot commodity in the business world?</p>
<p>I asked this question here hoping that someone in here has knowledge in this area. But does anyone know any other forums that might be more appropriate for this question? Or even an email address of someone to talk to?</p>
<p>In the United states, they changed LLB to JD some time ago, since in North America at least, the LLB is a graduate degree. So calling it an LLB (Bachelor of Law) is incorrect.</p>
<p>However, in Canada, the only University that offers a JD is the University of Toronto, despite their program being almost identical in nature to every other University's LLB.</p>
<p>It's the same with Pharmacy. Up here, we get BSc's in Pharmacy, but down there, you get PharmD's. I honestly prefer your system better. Pharmacy and Law degrees aren't bachelor level degrees; to me at least.</p>
<p>If you want to make a ton of cash get an MBA and do i-banking. Since you have a very quantitive background (engineering), and since you are planning to get a law degree as well (which requires good writing and communication skills), you would be a very hot commodity in the business world.</p>
