“Why you should consider a JD MBA.” MyMBACareer.com: “An MBA JD degree is also useful if you are considering a career in politics or government. Even if you don’t plan to practice law or work in a business setting, there are many ways in which an MBA JD degree can help you prepare for a job in public service. Your range of knowledge will make you a valuable addition to any campaign, political staff or government office. In the same vein, government organizations are constantly working with private business and legal firms, and a JD MBA graduate is perfectly suited to such work.”
