[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any thoughts for a JD who has a finance undergrad (from a Wharton/Stern kind of school). Like many others I regret going biglaw litigation -- I love the work, but it's up and out and in this economy and with my firm's current issues, I am not making partner and moving to another firm is not proving easy (or palatable). I am so wishing I had gone down the business road because there are options even if you don't make MD at an investment bank and you don't necessarily need to be in NYC. Any thoughts of how to make the undergrad degree useable without shelling out 2 yrs worth of tuition for an MBA? I would like to think I have an "advantage" over other JDs who have a history background because I have something "different" but I don't know how to set myself apart.[/quote]

I did this, but it was tough.  The difference is that I had an undergrad degree in Econ and a Master's in Public Policy.  I worked for 5 years before going to law school.  After law school, I practiced at big firm then eventually worked for an investment bank in Capital Market Structured Finance doing derivatives work.  The undergrad degree didn't help me as much as the actual work experience before law school.[/quote]
