An MBA or J.D. first?

I really don’t have a good reason for not getting the joint degree, to be honest.

Most high ranking MBA programs want their students to have work experience. Some will let students substitute advanced education such as law school for some of the work experience. The most efficient route would be to go to law school first and then get your MBA. If you don’t have a good reason for not getting the joint degree, you should get the joint degree and save yourself an extra year of coursework, tuition, and lost salary opportunity.

If you want to work in a movie studio, you might want to look to see what degrees others have in the position you see yourself holding.
