I did a top 5 MBA. The people who I know who did a JD/Mba seemed very confused. At the end of the day, you can only use one for your profession. If you want to be a lawyer, just get the JD and over time, you can go into business if that’s what you choose. And if you don’t want to be a lawyer, there’s no reason to get a JD. That’s my two cents. People are either confused or status obsessed when they get both

It’s about benefits vs. costs.
If the JD/MBA combo isn’t going to cost you much more than getting either degree alone, then get it, 100%.
But if you will have to add on extra high cost debt, really weigh the benefits vs. costs. You can become an in-house counsel and do well without an MBA and extra debt.
That’s all I’m saying to consider. Don’t add on extra debt due to false notions of benefits or insecurity.

I did and MBA and am getting ready to begin law school.

IMO there’s no clear blueprint when it comes to this path. You need to have a clear idea of how you plan to use both degrees together. And yes, part of the reason I’m doing the JD is for status, not gonna lie.

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience. I worked as a mortgage loan officer (which is sales) for 2 years after college, but since mortgage is such a niche industry, no hard skills transfer and have no relevant undergrad internships unfortunately. I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?
