I'm glad it was helpful! I also put together a short walking through some of the key differences between a JD program and MPA/MPP program. ruclips.net/user/shortsOtlT-eznQPY?si=JPmfkvvcqcRzprL8 Good luck with your decision 🤞🏾
My dilemma is becoming a lawyer was always a dream of mine, but I didn’t wanna go to law school. Finishing college I now see time flies. Those jobs you described I could definitely see myself being a family court judge or in probate but I’m also very interested in healthcare policy and policies around social justice. JD Seems more versatile to me what do you think?
Hi, I'm glad you found the video helpful. 2/4 careers you mentioned here would require a law degree/ law license. I agree that a JD is a versatile degree, and any of your interest areas could be served by a law degree. I can confirm that the three years fly by.
So I've been exploring this idea and happy I've come across this video and that you made it so recently! My thought process is wanting to get into something with technology regulation. Laws surrounding what can/cant be done and maybe holding people/companies accountable when they break those laws. Mainly the first part. Where do you think I fit in more with that goal in mind? Any job ideas? Thank you for your time and video!
Hi, I'm glad you found the video helpful. If you are interested in regulating technology through either the creation of laws/ policies, enforcement, or advocacy, I think a JD might make more sense for you. There are legal jobs in various areas of this field; such as in the federal government (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, FCC, and FTC), the Congressional Research Service, law firms (such as PWC), and many other places. I would suggest looking for the job(s) you want and evaluating the criteria necessary to obtain it.

Hello, if you want to practice law in the United States, you will need to obtain a juris doctor. Keep in mind that getting a postgraduate degree in the United States does not provide a guaranteed pathway to employment or residency in the United States.
