JD/MBAs...worth it or waste of time? | Wall Street Oasis
Feb 15, 2010 · But the JD/MBA accelerated programs offer you an additional degree in the same time it would take to get a law degree, so why not aim for the JD/MBA?

JD/MBA Admission - Wall Street Oasis
Apr 21, 2014 · Law school is a scam. If you are doing a JD/MBA to go into big law its more or less a waste as allyou need is a JD.
