getting a bachelor's in philosophy is about 100 times smarter than going to law school unless:

1) you are going to a top 14 school
2) you are getting a full ride or someone else is paying 100% for it
3) you have any very strong personal/family connection to a firm

if any of those above are true for you then get a JD

if none of those apply to you then it is the worst life decision you could possibly make as anyone who has spend 2 seconds researching the career prospects for graduating JDs knows
