>> When I graduated at Penn State in 1982, it was relatively uncommon for people to go
to law school with an accounting background.
Today, that's changed.
And there are many people with accounting backgrounds that do go to law school
and then go into various fields of law.
So when I did it, it was somewhat unusual
and it wasn't a well defined path for people to do that.
Today, that's changed.
The legal profession because the supply of new legal graduates is exceedingly demand for them
by law firms and different legal employers more than it ever has.
I think it's important for a student to differentiate themselves somehow.
And by having an accounting background as well as having some business experience
for a couple years before you attend law school.
May give you a leg up on those
that would otherwise be attending law school directly from their undergraduate.
Plus, having a couple years of seasoning in the business world,
I also believe helps people better focus their studying efforts when they are in law school.
And to be able to juggle multiple projects and
and satisfy the demanding requirements of law school.
