One doesn't necessarily want to acquire a JD and an MBA in order to become a lawyer or specifically a business manager. The programs do offer a diverse skill set that can be applied to many professions. I feel that an MBA especially can be a great benefit, and it is limiting to think of the degree as only a practical pathway to that kind of career. I also disagree about the 'risk-averse' nature of the dual degree program. I don't think anyone would have a problem with entering a career and switching later on if they attend a JD/MBA program unless there were certain circumstances in their background. Please, prove me wrong :).

If you are an education purist, well you may think that you truly learn something out of those programs, be it top 10 law school or top 10 b-school. At the end of the day, it's all about getting a job and making a living. I know it's hard to think like that now as you are just getting out of an Ivy League college. I was like you. You will learn the lesson the hard way. That's all I can "prove."
