MBA/JD Dual Degree
Hello everyone -
I will be finishing up my degree online (COVID, and convenience). It is from a non-target institution, so there are some drawbacks to this. However, I have background experience that allows some exploration and added qualifications to apply into an MBA/JD program at a local institution.
Is this worth exploring? I want to learn about both the business understanding and understand about contracts. I would also want to get licensed to work to give back to the community as well. I donate and starting to participate volunteer hours for nonprofits I am passionate about.
Is anyone here have both qualifications? How did it work out?
Thank you.
It’s a hard sell for two reasons:
1) there are no careers that explicitly use it.
2) The forgone income and experience by adding extra years of schooling given no careers use it.
I think the only situation it makes sense is you are wealthy, interested in the law, and care less about career progression. I would view it closer to a philosophy degree than something you are going to concretely use.
Law probably has more specializations than any industry. A business contract for example in the consumer space will require professional review from a lawyer that has worked in that industry and jurisdiction. You'll learn something from getting a JD but those will just be basic skills, enough to get you a job at a big law firm. JD itself is not enough to be 100% sure you understand all of the nuances of the contract you're reading.
If you do MBA/JD, you won't get any benefits of the MBA and instead spend hours studying on a JD instead of networking. IF you want to do a JD, get a law degree. Maybe if this is at Columbia University, I would recommend it. But my first point still stands.
