Work as an investment banker for 2-4 years, then law school.

<p>How common is this and is it a good idea?</p>

<p>It depends. If you have under 129 armpit-hairs per armpit, it’s not a good idea. It you have more, then it’s probably a good idea.</p>

<p>its quite common and would be very useful if you plan to be a corporate lawyer u knw</p>

<p>It’s sort of a waste of time if you ask me, those are 5 years of your life you will not be getting back to end up in corporate law and make less than your finance counterparts who spend about the same time working on the same deals. I know people do it, but I don’t think its incredibly wise.</p>
