What can I do with an Undergraduate Law Degree (LLB)?

Hey all! So i'm on track to do a LLB degree from LSE this year and was wondering if I had options other than just a legal career. Don't get me wrong, i'm really interested in a Legal Career and have seen roughly how it works first hand but I just want to know if there are any other options open and whether i'll be straight-jacketing myself by doing the LLB.

I heard from others that people who did law in my university have broken into BB IB, Consulting, HF and some people even went into Risk. How in the world is this possible? Did they network like crazy and did a ton of self studying? I ask this because I just can't see how stuff like that relates to law (especially HF and risk).

I apologize for my ignorance but I really don't know much right now and am trying to read as much as I can from sites like mergers and inquisitions and was hoping to get some more advice from WSO.

I apologize for derailing this topic from the start but I don't have enough bananas to PM you. How did you like LSE, I'm strongly considering going for my MSc in economics and management. Would love to hear what you think the ups and downs are?
