What kind of professions do you go into?

Graduate School Law School

<p>I really like the idea of Law School (considerably more than business school and MUCH more than med school)...but I've always had a restraint. In my naive opinion, the only job you can go into with a law degree that pays as well as a business degree would be to become a lawyer. I like the idea of being a lawyer as well, but I would never want to defend someone when I knew he/she was guilty. That would haunt me and make all my accomplishments worthless. But, if you're a lawyer, chances are that at some point you will be forced to defend someone who you think is guilty or possibly lose your job. What else do people with a law degree do besides becoming the typical lawyer you see on TV? How is corporate law different from public law? </p>

<p>I'm sorry if I sound dumb a/b this...but up until this point I've focused solely on business school and know nothing about law.</p>

<p>there are plenty of threads on this forum that discuss what it is like to be a lawyer -- go back and read some. tv is a pretty poor place to learn about what it is like to be a lawyer.</p>

<p>ok...anyone have any actual answers to my question a/b corporate law and other professions that ppl go into from law school. I don't mind searching old threads, but I'd prefer saving myself the time if someone has the answer to these two or three threads.</p>

<p>people who graduate law school but don't wanna be lawyers do stuff like -</p>

<p>ibanking, risk arb trading, consulting, and there are probably other options available.</p>

<p>I've also heard of sports agents and movie agents having legal degrees.</p>

<p>I'm sure there are people in Real Estate dev with law degrees too.</p>
