<p>Everything depends on everything.....you can never be sure about anything...what do you like more, interacting with people and reading/writing a lot, or doing math and punching millions of numbers into excel...that's what it comes down to...</p>

<p>Thanks for your contribution.</p>

4

<p>I dont really get what you were asking....care to expand on your dilemma?</p>

5

<p>This is part of my ongoing feud with currentnyustudent. He thinks CL's better because he wants to be like Ally Mcbeal.</p>

6

<p>Okay.....one's definitely better than the other. It's relative, how could you even have an argument on what's a better career? What do you think is better and vice-versa?</p>

7

<p>He thinks CL is a better career because he lacks the quantitative skills and can-do attitude for IB. I prefer IB because Wall Street > 42nd street and Law school < me.</p>

8

<p>whatever, that's a pretty stupid argument to have with someone over the internet, or anywhere for that matter.</p>

<p>You consider law school to be beneath you. Sue me.</p>

<p>You want a ****ing match? Pick another opponent, because I'm not playing. I have betting things to do, like actually make progress towards going to law school. Have fun feuding with yourself, Luminaire.</p>
