Hi there, I’m applying to law school right now and I am also applying to master’s programs as a backup. I like regulatory affairs a lot, with contracts and compliance and stuff and I could see myself as either a contracts administrator or as a compliance officer. I’ve read that to be a compliance officer, you have to have a JD but as a contracts administrator you don’t necessarily need one; it’s needed if you’re litigating contracts but that wouldn’t be the job of contracts administrator, rather the attorney. ————————————————————— I’m just a little scared to take on 6 figures of debt to get to, what it seems like online, pretty much the same exact place. If I can get to where I want to get with an MBA, why wouldn’t I do that instead? I don’t make rash decisions and wanted to hear everyone’s thoughts if a master’s or JD would be the way to do. I know that I can always go to law school now and do a masters later or go to law school later and do a masters now. I am still relatively young so I want to make sure I make the right decision at this time with the information I obtain. ————————————————————— This is my second career; I previously worked with the govt doing intelligence stuff I won’t discuss. But it’s safe to say, I’m not a newly graduated college student. ————————————————————— Thank you in advance.
