<p>Some colleges actually offer dual law/med degree, but it sounds crazy. They both have some risks in this economy (as does everything else). It’s easier to get into law school but this typically means massive debt with no guarantee of hire. If you look at the '09 grads, it’s clear that law firms don’t go back and rehire past graduates. If you don’t get a job you’re basically screwed with huge debt. </p>
<p>Med school is a lot harder to get in, but it can obviously pay off and it’s an admirable goal. If you don’t get in, it’s the same dilemma, all those science classes with no med degree.</p>
