<p>Ok, I'm really interested in becoming an acting agent/anything with media communications and management, and I'm wondering if, since I'm a senior applying for college, I should be worrying about what I'll be focusing on for majors as an undergraduate if I'd like to pursue this sort of career.</p>
<p>Also, I'm a little uneducated, as you can probably see, on what a J.D./M.B.A. actually is/does/how to get one, so yeah, can someone clear that up?</p>
<p>bump...........</p>
<p>come on, no one?</p>
<p>If you don't know why one would get a JD/MBA then don't pursue one.</p>
<p>"Ok, I'm really interested in becoming an acting agent/anything with media communications and management"</p>
<p>Why are you looking at a JD for this career path? I don't see the word "attorney" in the your dream job description so I'm not sure why you would be pursuing a JD.</p>
<p>If you want to get into a good MBA program you're generally better off working for a few years after college, so major in the field you want to work in during college and go from there.</p>
<p>I think that combination JD/MBA programs are more for attorneys that want to have a better understanding of business (maybe for more corporate law focus), but I'm not certain. You might get a better understanding of these specific programs on the law school boards.</p>
<p>The MBA is a master in business administration. The JD is a law degree.</p>
<p>It is usually attorneys who go for the MBA/JD. This is because either they want to work in corporate law or they want to open their own law firm some day.</p>
<p>I heard it is hard getting a good job as an acting agent. For you a business degree with maybe a minor in media communications might do well.</p>
<p>For the business I suggest accounting as if this does not work out you can always get an accounting job as they are easy to get. You also learn the most from accounting or finance in business.</p>
<p>Heh, I'm pretty sure I know why the OP is asking about JD/MBAs in regards to media agent positions. But I'll save him the humilation of telling everyone how he decided to put the two together.</p>
