JD or MBA? Come on.

<p>Hey guys, I want to become a hedge fund analyst after my degree.
Should I go to law school or get an MBA?</p>

<p>Only go to law school if you want to practice law. The days of the universal JD are over. On the other hand, if you really want to do both a combined JD/MBA is supposedly not as difficult as it is often made out to be.</p>

<p>Universal JD is over.?</p>

<p>With the glut of applicants currently applying with good work history and a very specific career path, often the JD seems to employers that the applicant is uncertain of their career goals. In addition there are many that do not understand why a person does not work in law as many do not realize the numerous downsides to the profession.</p>
