New: Which will get me a better job with the government if I attend law school?

Question

Ok.. I previously asked a question in regards to my minor and I received a couple of good suggestions that I hadn't thought about. I am majoring in Public Policy but I couldnt decide on the minor. I have now narrowed it down sociology and economics. I plan to attend law school but I DONT wish to practice law. I want a decent position with the state or federal government. Which minor do you think will serve me best along with my Public Policy major... Sociology or Economics??? I value all opinions.... Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Either minor will work. If you want to work for government after school, and you're dead set on going to law school as well, try to find a program that offers a joint JD/MPA program as most MPA grads go to work for the government. Having both will set you apart and help get you where you want to go.
