Question about Joint Degree Programs

Question about Joint Degree Programs?
When I graduate, I will have a BA in Political Science, which may not seem much, but it is a step closer to what I want to do with my life. I would like to go to law school, and also have a joint-degree, so I can have something to fall back on. I would like to practice corporate, health, environmental, or human rights law one day. Or get a job in Homeland Security But, I want to live on a reasonable salary (80k+), so I thought about getting another degree with my Juris Doctor. What will help me ring in the most money? I would like to go into Politics later, and become a mayor or state legislator. I would like to begin work in Homeland Security, Healthcare, Environment or Human Rights. A JD with.... MA in Political Science MA in Economics MA in Philosophy MA in Humanities MBA (Masters of Business Administration) MPP (Masters of Public Policy) MPA (Masters of Public Administration) MPH (Masters of Public Health) PhD (Philosophy, Political Science, Economics) MD (Doctor of Medicine) MEM (Master of Environmental Management) MRP (Master of Regional Planning) Master Of Arts In Arab Studies Master of Health Administration

Well, I know that your question is not about getting into law school, but I just wanted to give a small suggestion on that: don't major in political science. It's better to try something that will set you apart and help you attain a better-paying job ultimately, which will not be achieved by a political science degree. Philosophy is a VERY good area to get a Bachelors degree in, because philosophy does a good job at helping you learn thought processes, etc. My father's cousin is currently a university professor and she got an AWESOME score on her LSAT, which she credits to her philosophy background. There have also been studies which support this. Not to mention, it's VERY relevant to law and the study of it. If you plan on going into homeland security or maybe defense, some schools offer a BA in Criminal Justice with a concentration in military science or national defense. You will definitely want to have some internships and establish plenty of social networks - two VERY important things that will help you get some amazing jobs. A warning to you is this: law is a VERY demanding course of study and can be very rigorous. You may want to attain a Masters in your other field of study BEFORE attending school for your JD. Typically, a Masters (of course, with respect to the field) can be attained from anywhere around a few months or a year to two years - also contingent upon the hours required for the degree and the hours you take, etc. Try to get a degree in a field relative to the field you want to work in with your JD. Hope that makes sense:) Best of luck! :)
