<p>A local attorney told me that one can snag a MBA degree in one year after spending three years in pursuit of their JD degree. Is this true? Also, am I correct in believing that a JD graduate earns the title of Esq. and that an MBA is only a masters degree, i.e., I won’t be able to have a Dr. at the start and an Esq. at the end of my name? Additional tips, in particular suggestions for literature, are appreciated, as well as thoughts on valuable undergraduate majors (though I am leaning towards at least a degree in philosophy). Cheers.</p>
<p>Call me crazy, but what about a Ph.D in Philosophy? How marketable would that be?</p>

<p>It is really only “marketable” if you intend to pursue a career in legal academia.</p>
<p>who the **** cares about your title?</p>
<p>Come now, I’m sure you would also enjoy spouting off a nine syllable title and name during career day at your local elementary school. In all seriousness though, what kind of majors for undergraduate should I be thinking about? Philosophy/Economics? Political Science/Business? (As an aside, what exactly is the difference between Economics and Business? Does one deal with market philosophy and long-term patterns while the other pertains to enterpreneurship?)</p>
<p>Well…since it is a juris DOCTOR I guess technically you could call yourself Dr. so-and-so, but you’d look like a pretentious *******.</p>
