MBA – depends on where you got it from. If it’s not a brand-name school, then it’s not going to be as valuable as you think. Same for the law degree. Experience counts more than anything else, and if you don’t have quality experience, a lot of people won’t even consider hiring you. I would say that the MBA will have better chances, as more fields will need management individuals than lawyers. If you know anything about securities or corporate law, then you may be able to land a nice job as the law degree & MBA combination is attractive.

hmm that mix is very very good, with MBA and law degree you can work in any field and a lot of executive jobs require that you have both. . . from what I hear these two position are very mixed together and if you find a high executive position most likely you will be working with both at the same time. . . I’m in college but the advice I’m gettin is go for BBA in college and then law degree in grad school cause BBA and MBA is really the same thing, a lot of places the classes are even exactly the same, like they are called BUS310/510 and undergrad and grad students to there together. . . so really tehre’s not much point to getting an MBA after a BBA. . .
