<p>I've heard of a JD/MBA and have a pretty good understanding of what it entails. That being said, if I only had interest in going to law school after my undergrad, what sort of careers would I be looking at if I obtained a law degree along with an undergrad degree in accounting/finance. I was told that I could become a tax attorney, which intrigues me a bit. </p>
<p>Also, with regards to the LSATs, are there some courses that I should take, or literature I should be reading to prepare me for them? Or are they somewhat like the SATs, in that it's basically all general knowledge material?</p>
<p>With a law degree you can practice tax law with a law firm (assuming you pass the bar). You don't need anything else.</p>
<p>With a law degree and an undergraduate degree in accounting and you pass the CPA exam, you can practice tax law with a law firm, or with an accounting firm. (Tax accountants are actually practicing tax law, they just don't call it the practice of law).</p>
<p>An MBA won't make that much difference in tax practice. An undergraduate degree in finance won't make much difference in tax practice.</p>
<p>If you really are interested in tax practice, you can get an undergraduate degree in accounting, get a JD, and then get an LLM in taxation. If you did this, you would be an expert's expert.</p>
<p>I am an attorney and a CPA. Did undergrad as an accounting major, worked for a CPA firm, then went to law school, practiced mainly doing civil litigation.
Not too much tax stuff. After going to law school, I realized that accounting ( basically counting someone else's money ) was not my thing so I pretty much avoided thinks like tax law, etc... Overall though, can't go wrong with an accounting undergrad degree. Best of luck.</p>
<p>I am in the same situation that Dilo was in. I will be graduating in the Spring of 2011 with an Accounting degree; however, I want to know my options/routes I can take. As MBJ said, I do not really think counting other people’s money would be something that would really challenge my mind and I could get bored. Does anyone else have any suggestions? Thank you.

<p>to GeenShinobi AKA MidoriShinobi if you’re interested in “Things Japanese” I can tell you that there is no substitute for going to and living in the Host Country. If you want to add something else to your Accounting degree I suggest Japanese, I got a call from New York offering me a job even before I started College. A Law Degree is always a good thing to have even if for no other reason there is someone who can head off trouble before it happens. If you already speak Nihogo, then go Itchuksen-Jo.</p>
