Policy is kinda like law…

Well in one case, yes it is: both have terrible job markets. (There are thousands of students just like you who graduate every year with an undergrad and/or Masters in “Policy” but think about it: who hires them?)

Juillet is correct: if you can score a 17x on the LSAT and have a good GPA, you can get into a top law school, which has pretty good employment numbers in top-paying firms. But the question is: 1) do you want to live in NYC, where most of the jobs are; 2) is that the kinda life that you want (working 60-80 weeks)?
