<p>Is going down this path a stupid idea? Mainly because law school is so expensive? </p>
<p>I would like to work in the State Department or the Intelligence Community, hence the MA in international relations. After the State Dept or IC, I would like to pursue a career in politics, which is where the law degree comes in.</p>
<p>Obviously, things dont always work out the way we like to. And I run the risk of landing in an incredible amount of debt ($150,000+). </p>
<p>So what say you CC? Im positive I want to do an MA in IR. But should I do the law degree?</p>
