Uncertain of which major to choose for law school.

College Majors

<p>Currently, I am trying to decide which major to choose for undergraduate school. Ultimately, I would like to go to law school, however that prospect is a few years down the road. I am torn between majoring in something that I would enjoy but have few job prospects; or majoring in something like business. So here are my possibilities:</p>

<p>1) History- Really enjoy the subject, limited job opportunites after graduation if I decide not to go to law school. (I don't want to be a teacher)</p>

<p>2) Economics- Enjoy the subject as well. I'm concerned, though, about the large math requirements needed for the degree. Math is definitely not my cup of tea, but if I had to, I could most likely make it through calculus and statistics. The possibility of many future job opportunities with economics makes the major a definite possibility. Just concerned about the math.</p>

<p>3) Business Administration and Management- Probably not my first choice. Definitely a possibility, though especially if I decide not to go to law school. </p>

<p>4) History and Economics double major- Would this be doable?</p>

<p>5) History and Business Administration double major</p>

<p>Out of these five, please help me choose. At this point, I have gone over all the possibilities in my mind dozens of times. As of now, law school seems alluring to me. But, in a few years, if I decide not to attend law school, I don't want to end up with a degree that will endear me with few job opportunities after graduation like history. So, any help would appreciated! Thanks!</p>

<p>I'd pick history. If you're definitely going to law school, study what you really love. And even if you don't go, it's still a really marketable degree because it's liberal arts. It's not there are few job -opportunities-, it's just that there are few careers that require a specific background of history.</p>

<p>Do what you're interested in. Admission to law school is all about GPA and LSAT - do what you're good at. That's also usually what you're interested in...</p>

<p>There are a number of jobs that are not major specific. You don't need to major in business to do business. For example, investment banks recruit only at elite undergraduate schools, but they are not looking for specific majors (though some business coursework could help). If you have a good GPA and go to a good school, then an interview at a major i-bank is almost guaranteed.</p>

<p>Any idea of what you would do with a business degree?</p>
