<p>I have a few questions about these. ( I am still in hs, just thinking about the futyure)</p>
<p>I am thinking of applying to the one at Stanford.</p>
<p>What will my chances with a 3.8+ at UVA be?</p>
<p>Are most classes in law school or business school.</p>
<p>What job opportunities?</p>
<p>What type of companies recruit?</p>
<p>What tasks does having both degrees allow you to do?</p>
<p>What type of jobs can u get that pay 160K or higher and might come with a standard 8 hour workday?</p>
<p>You will not find MBA or law jobs that pay $160k (in today's money) for 8 hrs a day. Due to supply and demand, the highest paying jobs generally require long hours and/or involve work that is viewed as undesireable by many.</p>
<p>The job line that generally involves the least number of hours for the most amount of money is sales (or trading, brokerage, etc). However, sales jobs often don't require an MBA, may not require a college degree, and in some cases don't even require a HS diploma. That being said, most salespeople don't make much money but if you are a great salesman you can make a ton of money.</p>
<p>In reality, I'd advise you to not look for the "easy" route because money doesn't come easy. Bust your butt, put in the dirt, and it is quite possible for you to set yourself for an easier career in the future (ex: bust your butt in Ibanking for a few years, and then move into private equity). Given conversations I've had with my lawyer buddies, I believe it is probably easier to do this in business than law (have heard that even partners in law firms have to put in high hours unless they are "rainmakers"....ie can generate a lot of business...similiar to a good salesman).</p>

In return you must give of yourself. Stories of 100-hour weeks are common. But, says Lodge, that's not the whole picture. "[Hedgies] have a passion for what they do and some do work long hours. But they're not chained to the desk.

<p>six words: thank you, but no thank you.</p>
<p>Ps. frankly, just don't have the time; I'll say this, however, you don't need to be "the hedge fund manager". The rest is homework for whoever cares to do it. :)</p>
<p>If you don't have anything to add to the conversation, it's best that you don't post anything at all then.</p>
<p>"If you don't have anything to add to the conversation, it's best that you don't post anything at all then."</p>
<p>Hey buddy,</p>
<p>Don't get all emotional on me. Look:</p>
<p>1) In case your reading comprehension is lacking, I added to the conversation: hedge fund analyst technically work market hours only, and go over $160K easily. Sure, chances are the OP won't make it into a HF, but the jobs are out there (the turbulent state of the economy is a different matter that is irrelevant for the point I am making, in case you were thinking about this for some reason).</p>
<p>2) I did not say, I don't have the time to add to the conversation--which I, in fact, did in both of my posts (i.e. I also added that you don't need to be the fund manager to be making big $$$ and working market hours in my "PS" post; in fact, because the analyst is not the fund manager, he or she does not need to be as stressed and/or obsessed with the fund's overall success.) I simply said that I don't have the time to elaborate at your cutesy request.</p>
<p>In sum, 1) I added to the thread (note: if you can't read or interpret short sentences, well, that's not my fault); 2) If you learn to ask nicely, you may be more successful in getting info; 3) please save yourself grandiose posts where you tell other people what to do--frankly, your opinion of what's "best" is pretty insignificant; 4) your last post certainly didn't add much, but even your first didn't either, as there are way too many foolish assumptions with your (poor) advice to the OP.</p>
<p>And of course, again, no need to get emotional or cutesy. Thanks.</p>
<p>Actually, by simply answering "Hedge Fund" detracted from the conversation and is misleading to the OP who is looking for a real answer. If you don't want to qualify your responses, then don't respond at all. It's particularly disingenuous considering that you are an undergrad with no real world work experience. I honestly don't think you have a f'ing clue. If someone else with actual experience wants to add to the discussion, I'm sure the OP would appreciate it.</p>
<p>"Actually, by simply answering "Hedge Fund" detracted from the conversation and is misleading to the OP who is looking for a real answer."</p>
<p>Again, your opinion doesn't mean much to me; unless you can actually prove something (ie, detracting from the conversation), as opposed to speaking out of your A.., then please do. Otherwise, please do a favor to yourself and realize your opinion, by itself, is worthless.</p>
<p>"If you don't want to qualify your responses, then don't respond at all."</p>
<p>Again, I'll do as I please, esp. if I know my post contributes.</p>
<p>"It's particularly disingenuous considering that you are an undergrad with no real world work experience."</p>
<p>Buddy, I work in Private Equity.</p>
