"doing well at UCLA isn't that impressive compared to a H/S/W MBA."

You recognize how you are changing your claim, right? We were talking m7 v T14. We aren't talking individual schools. We are not talking a subset of those schools. We are talking about the m7 group of MBA programs and the T14 group of law schools. This is literally what using these labels mean. If we were talking individual schools, we would use the name of the school.

But putting to the side how you are pivoting, why are you dishonestly taking the top of the m7 and comparing that to the bottom of the T14? The correct way to do that type of analysis is to compare across deciles (or whatever comparable measure) 

 

Law school is booooorrringgggg. Like super boring. M7 MBA is a two year cocktail party. 

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

I mean, when you're slaving 80 hours a week, does it really matter?

The moment you join the workforce, your school stops to matter. Of course, if it helps you somehow to cope that I'm in this cubicle under a fluorescent light but "I aM aKtshUalLy a M7 MBA/T14 Law grad", then sure, great coping technique 👌🏼👌🏼 enjoy it

but I would say that M7 MBA is better because T14 law schools = academic weapon aka lacks any life experience/library nerd that based its entire existence that he will be a lawyer

so definietely an MBA with some touch to reality
