As a veteran reporter with troubles finding the next gig, I've looked into the propsect of pursuing a law degree. Trouble is, I'm not convinced it will add to my marketability, seeing the difficulties I've been having finding a job with the credentials and experience I already have. In other words, would it really make a difference in a field that's about hiring inexperienced talent for less.? This is a great post and please offer suggestions, as I am taking this idea very seriously. Thank you. |

I've considered this too... infact also looking at an MBA as well.
The real issue is will you be able to pay the loans off???
It may make you a better journalists, but unless you're on a management track probably not the best move.
My advice, unless you can find someone else to pay for it or subsidize it, probably not an investment you will pay off before you die.
