Law School after CFA... crazy much?
One of my friends is considering going to law school, actually I heard him mentioning law school since he was doing his undergrad and I just thought, “everyone considered being a lawyer at some point in their life”, and never heard much about it until he recently finished the CFA program.
I was thinking HE MUST BE CRAZY because I do believe there’s such thing as being over-edcuated. And usually people who are “professional students” and they just use studying as an excuse to avoid facing the real world.
UNTIL I have another friend who’s an intern/ apprentice at a law firm that specializes in IPOs (or at least her team is). She has a biology background and has absolutely NO BACKGROUND in finance or accounting whatsoever. She frequently asks me questions about her job, and she told me how much she appreciates if people in her firm have more of the business background because they would be able to converse better with the auditors, etc.
So perhaps my friend who’s going to law school after CFA isn’t too crazy afterall? If he wants to do IPO or IP…. thoughts??? |
