Without any other context? Therapy. Clearly the idea is prestige chasing for the sake of prestige. These serve very different goals

As someone who doesn’t want to go into law or PE, I’ll take the MBA.

I don’t think OP is actually considering these, I think it’s more of a hypothetical, but yeah this totally depends on what you want to do with your life so there isn’t really a “king of prestige” answer here.

YLS is probably the hardest to get into from these options, so if you’re looking for “most thumbs up on linkedin and clout for mom to tell her friends about” then go for that.

Most doors will come from the MBA.

Most money will most likely come from PE.

Most “lay prestige” will most likely come from JD.

All things considered, MBA.

Thanks both!

I mean this in the kindest way possible... but I think you're projecting, which is why I didn't respond to your original comment.

I'm grateful to have these opps and was hoping to hear how others might approach this as a small input into informing a pivotal decision. This is a champagne problem, of course, but my asking of this shouldn't elicit "therapy" or presume that I'm merely prestige-maxing unless you're insecure. I'd implore you to think about why *you're* taking the time to comment here. If it's out of sincere concern, I do genuinely appreciate the thought, but rest assured that I'm quite fine. Have a good one, fellow Bainie
