Yes, a business degree might directly open up certain career opportunities. It’s not a sure thing. however. Not every business major, finds it easy to obtain employment, or employment at the desired level in the desired type of company. In part, it depends on what business school he or she attended, what business subspecialty the major was in, internships, etc. My main point was that the average LSAT scores of business majors are much lower than those of several other majors. Since GPA and LSAT are the main factors in law school admission and merit aid (since law school is expensive), this is an important consideration. I don’t know that a business degree is preferred for certain areas of law, but I don’t doubt that it could it being quite useful for many areas. One possibility to consider is an economics major within a business school. This would differ from an arts & sciences economics major in that core courses in the major business subfields would be required. Another possibility is a joint JD/MBA program.
