Which degree is more useful? A BA in Business or a JD Degree?
Hello, I'm about to finish my combined BA/MA Public History degree, and it is at this point I think I made a mistake. I'm only 25 so I guess I still have time to fix this problem. I don't want to be a lawyer, but I was told my background in history would make Law School pretty easy. I was also told I can do other things with a JD degree other then law. So, which is better, a BA in Business (possibly human resources) or a JD Degree? Also, what minor is best to get with a BA in Business? Thanks. On what I wanted to do with my present degree, I wanted to work in an Historical organization or a government job, with teaching as a backup plan. I should have my Masters Degree in Public History by the end of Spring 2009. Thanks for the answers so far :) The thing is, I'm so close to getting my masters degree and it is now that I realize my job opportunities with this degree is quite low. The advisers told me otherwise, but I now found out the truth :/

If you don't want to be a Lawyer, do not go to Law School. You will hate it. Why don't you apply to an MBA program?

There is no comparrison. A BA in business is an undergraduate degree and a JD is a post-graduate degree. You would need the former to enroll in the latter, but you are under no obligation to do so. If you do not want to go to law school, then don't. Find employment or complete a masters or Ph.D. program.

Law school will be a waste of your time and money if you don't want to become a lawyer. If you want to get your advanced degree, I think a master's in anything would be fine. As for a minor, it really depends on what you want to do. You didn't say what your future plans are so I can't help you there.
