If you are in college and want to go to law school, major in business. I know, I know, most people think you should major in political science or whatever, and having not majored in political science I guess I don’t really know what I’m talking about, but even so, I recommend majoring in business.
Majoring in business forced me to take classes that I didn’t enjoy much, and never would have taken if they weren’t requirements. And although I took these classes a long time ago, they still have an ENORMOUS impact on my understanding of every day problems in the legal world.
The legal world is laced with things like accounting, insurance, finance, real estate, and economics, and it has been invaluable in my limited experience to have an understanding of these issues.
I don’t think that the terry college of business necessarily taught me invaluable skills, but it at least introduced me to concepts and terms and ideas that are difficult to grasp, and it is nice to at least be vaguely familiar with a difficult concept when you run into it in the real world.
But then again, don’t listen to me, major in whatever makes you happy. You can learn those terms later.
the thin line between optimism and delusion...
