Hmmm . . . a JD/MBA is a popular, and maybe the most practical, combination for business and corporate law. It might also give you flexibility in moving from the law to the business side of things. I would maybe investigate the MPP and MPA programs, given your interests, though. I know Harvard has the Kennedy School of Government, if you have the opportunity to attend. Do investigate all degrees and schools thoroughly, and if you are in college now do ask your placement/alumni office to try to give you information and put you in touch with practitioners already out in the world to gain their advice. It's always good to see a question like this, where someone is interested in planning their future. Good luck!

the money is not dependent upon your degree. it sounds like you want to avoid litigation, although you will still find plenty of it in the fields of corporate, health or environmental nevertheless, I would suggest MPA, MPH or Master of Health Admin.
