Law School for a decent career?
Top 25 MBA grad (high GMAT 740+, did because of full tuition + some $). Had Corp Fin experience and thought that it’ll be ok to continue in Corp Fin.
Now I hate it and want to try to earn really good money and to work/network with smart, ambitious, hardworking people.
I don’t see any real career track from my current position. Seems like what is left is Law School and I already took LSAT (99%, above HYS medians).
In general my goals:
1. To have a real opportunity to earn $400-$500+/y for like 20years until retirement.
2. Work/network, have friends with smart, ambitious, hardworking people.
3. Feel some prestige and respect from society. Like Doctors, Lawyers, Bankers etc.
So basically please evaluate my plan:
1. Go to Law School (Harvard/Columbia or NWU/Cornell with $$).
2a. Try to get BB/MBB internship and ask them for a full time offer (because I have some corp fin exp and T25 MBA) and drop Law School.
2b. Finish Law school and try to get a job in IB/MBB.
2c. Finish Law school, couple years as a lawyer and move to VP legal or whatever to BB.
2d. Build career in Law and try to become a Partner or whatever career in Law looks like.
Any thoughts?
ps.
I read that law is boring, don’t go until you’re sure you want to be a lawyer etc etc. Maybe my previous experience and MBA will make some difference.
