Re: Law School and Math/Business Combo?
I was a math guy who went to law school because I wanted to be Clarence Darrow. I know a few JD/MBAs, IMO having 2 grad degrees doesn't help much in obtaining a job out of school, the only purpose would be long term -- e.g., you can understand the legal issues better when you're running your own hedge fund type of thing. A law degree can be useful in the business arena (although whether it would be worth the time and cost I'm not qualified to say), a math/business degree is not going to be very useful in practicing law. In terms of which to do, I quickly learned that practicing law is a business like any other, and one which is not nearly as lucrative as the finance careers pursued by my college classmates.
