So, I'm about to be in the last semester of my masters program. I'm obtaining my MA in Philosophy. I was thinking about joining the ministry and attending divinity school, but now I'm leaning towards law school. I'm curious as to what the job market is like for law school grads and is law school worth it if I do not attend one of the top schools in the country? Does my Master of Philosophy improve my resume? Does admissions look at my graduate GPA? Should I invest in tutoring for the LSAT?

I finished my undergrad with a 3.6 GPA and have scored a 166 and 169 on the two practice LSATs. Thanks in advance O-T law baws

I have no knowledge of Law schools but in Academia I know this matters so I must ask- are you a white male?

I know an injury attorney in New Orleans who quit the seminary after a year.

With those stats you'll be fine.

Well, not really. I had a thread on here a while back asking for advice for joining the ministry. Sorta just some clarification if anyone happened to remember that thread.

Why are you "leaning towards law school"? Law school should never be a means to prolong school or something that you do because you don't know what else to do.

Like marriage, I would rarely recommend law school to someone (and I've been relatively lucky in my legal career and in my marriage).

I still lead the young adult Bible study every week and teach extended lessons at my church from time to time; I plan on continuing ministry regardless of my career.
