Welcome & Introductions

Hello all,

I am writing to seek advice and guidance on pursuing a JD/MBA. I want to attend law school and work in employment, corporate, or civil rights law. I'm currently a senior at Tennessee State University majoring in Business Administration with a focus in HR, and I'm asking whether anyone has found their JD/MBA to be extremely impactful for their knowledge/ salary. Or is the JD degree just worth it?

This is such a worthwhile question and discussion, Jade! I'd love to bring some more attention to your post because I know we have BGS members across a wide range of industries and professions who could offer valuable perspectives.

Fellow BGS members, I'd encourage you to weigh in! Whether you're working in law or business, involved in hiring or talent acquisition, or have experience in higher education or professional training/certifications, your perspective could be really helpful here. Have you found that combining degrees opens doors professionally, or does the value depend more on your intended career path?

I imagine there are others in our community considering graduate education, professional development, or a career pivot who could benefit from this conversation as well.

Thanks for getting the discussion started!
