Tell me what to do with my life...
Now that I'm starting to get ready for law school, I'm also looking towards what other degree to get. Originally, the plan was a MBA along with the JD. But now that everyone and their uncle has an MBA, I'm wondering if that's really worth it.
MBA - Generic MBA, hopefully with a finance type focus. Pretty run of the mill.
MA/MS in Economics - The cirriculum would be more theoretical and more focused on the academic, as well the math/finance that I find interesting. I think it would be fascinating to study, and of course
PhD in Economics or Business Administration - Same as above, but with a cooler hood. I was thinking I could finish the thesis while working. No desire to teach or anything.
Personally, I'm leaning towards a PhD in econ along with my JD, but that's because I want to write a book and be able to call myself "Nina Basu, JD, PhD". It might give me some credibility :) Plus according to the financial aid lady, she can most easily find the money for this option.
