<p>I have undergrad degrees in Biology and English, after law school, if I wanted to pursue either one of those paths at an entry level instead of working in the basement of some law firm I would be less qualified than someone who just graduated undergrad? Thats what it sounds like people are saying, and that is what doesn’t make sense to me.</p>
<p>In addition to that I know dozens of people who went to law school and ended up in unrelated fields (finance primarily…think Nasdaq, NYSE and foreign organizations) who won’t shut up about how their law training landed them the first big job. If the law is all you get out of law school I could see how you might think that it’s subject specific training, but if you are able to adapt the skills you learn there, the possibilities are limitless. I suppose the people that are able to pull that off would have done well anyway.</p>
