Would getting a JD be helpful at all in business? Such as in a JD/MBA type degree?

</p>

<p>No. If you’re interested in business, do not get a JD. A JD is useless for business except in a few niche fields. If you’re interested in business, get a job in the field. Business experience -> MBA. It generally does not work the other direction.</p>

To be honest I’m not super set on being a lawyer.

<p>Don’t go to law school.</p>

Are businesses a little less strict on name prestige of the law school than law firms are?
