Business major or pre law?
Favorite Answer
There is no “pre-law” degree. Just like there’s no “pre-med” degree. You can major in anything and still call yourself “pre-law”.
You don’t need Political Science for law school. It’s an absolutely useless major. If you like politics, fine. Do it for that. However, for law, it is utterly and completely useless. History isn’t much better. Law school will teach you the very little you need to know about how law relates to politics or the history of the legal system.
So, pick Intl Business. You can still choose law school later on if you wish. Just take the LSAT and you’ll be eligible. No one can say which one will pay better. There are lawyers who make $30,000/yr. There are those that can make millions. Most top out at less than $500,000/yr. Even at large firms. IB can similarly have a very wide range of salaries. There are a lot of factors.
Just pick IB and as you go along, talk to professors and classmates and you’ll get a better feel as to whether you want to go into law, or maybe get a MBA.
You can actually combine the two. Almost every liberal arts [[Political science]] makes you take a minor. Minor in international business and see where it takes you. Both fields are great as far as money and jobs go. Who knows, you could end up being a lawyer for an international business.
