<p>Is it reasonable to graduate from an undergradute business program such as Wharton, Haas, or Sloan, and go on to law school immediately following undergrad? Or should one utilize their incredible degree and go off and work for a few years and then go to law school, if at all?</p>
<p>Is it reasonable? That depends on your definition of the word 'reasonable'. What I can tell you is that it has definitely been done before.</p>
<p>I'm at Stern right now. I have one friend who is a senior this year and she is going to law school right away. I'm debating whether or not I want to go right away, I'd like to work, but I'm afraid I'll never go back if I start working.</p>
<p>It all depends on where you get into law school. If you get into a top law school, then it is a good idea to go right away. If you do not get into a top LS, then consider going at night (but still right away).</p>
<p>why toronto_guy? You don't think it is a good idea to work after college? Further, what's your definition of "top school"? I read some of your other posts and you only mentioned Harvard, Yale, Stanford and NYU? I assume that was not an exhaustive lists but nonetheless I wanted to ask.</p>
<p>If you don't mind me asking: what's your background? Thanks.</p>
<p>Personally (and this really, truly is just my opinion), I think that working after college is indescribably valuable (but of course, I'll try ;)).</p>
<p>Newsflash to all you undergrads out there: you are existing in a bubble, my friends - a wierd, sometimes dauntingly difficult bubble, but a nice, organized one none the less. Getting out there and taking your licks is a wonderful, shaping experience. It's emotionally, socially and professionally pragmatic.</p>
<p>I wouldn't trade my working years for anything. You just have no idea how whacky (and wonderful) it gets until you just dive in and see if you've got what it takes.</p>
