I’ve wanted to be a lawyer since I was a kid, but now I’m reading books like Law School Confidential and One L, and getting a more realistic perspective—and I’m not sure I want to do it. Law school doesn’t sound like the intellectual bonanza I thought it would be, firm life sounds stifling, and I’m not really driven by money anyway so the high salary isn’t that important to me.

My ambition is to be a CEO and possibly get into politics later on.

Should I get a JD/MBA? If not, what kind of person should get a JD/MBA?
