Accounting vs. Law School?
I am sr. accounting/finance major and I have a job offer with the PriceWaterhouseCoopers in their tax department. This is a great opportunity for me, yet I also want to study law. Would you recomend that I go work for PWC for a little while and then enter law school, go strait to law school. I honestly enjoy accounting/finance as much as I would enjoy law. I just constatnly hear about a over supply of lawyers, and dont know if it is worth the cost?

- Get the best of both worlds. PWC has tuition reimbursement and many law schools have night classes. While the experience of living after college actually helps you in law school, the longer you wait to go back, the harder it becomes. If you start making $60K a year, then want to drop it to go back to school, its hard because you have become acustom to that $60K lifestyle. I would take the job, look at part time law school, and if it doesn't fit, get to law school ASAP. The idea of overflowing lawyers is partially true but partially false. Lawyers are needed everywhere, not just in the court room. If you want to be an attorney, its overflowed.
- Can you afford law school? If you enjoy your field (accounting/fiance) I would say stick to it.
