Question about a JD degree?

Question

Hi there

I am a student from Hong Kong, and I have a question that would determine the path of my life.

I am interested in a JD degree, but I don't know what my bachelor degree should be.

The thing is, I am interested in theater too. You know, drama and stuff, but I know clear that couldn't make a living out of that, that's why I may major in Hospitality management in UNLV.

So here's the problem: is there any "better" bachelor degree that is more suitable for pursuing a JD degree? Like what people say: political science?

Or it doesn't matter, whatever major it is for your bachelor, you could still do good in JD if you are hard working.

Should I go for Hospitality Management for my bachelor or should I go for theater?

Anyone know any lawyers majored in theater for their bachelor....?

Answer 1

Whatever you major in, make sure you also take courses that will help you develop your writing and analytical skills--e.g., writing classes, social sciences, philosophy.  Theater is actually a good choice because it will help you develop oral communication skills.
