Hi...I might have some practical info for you from a non practicing attorney.  I intended to practice law after graduation.  However,  I've been in the Intellectual Property area for over 20 years....on the business side.  My law degree has been a very valuable asset IMO.

When I got out during a downtown, friends that had no specific work experience prior to law school struggled finding work unless they were top 20% (and I went to top 25 school).  Those friends that had specific pre-law experience (securities, finance) had no trouble finding work.  IMO unless you get an MBA from an Ivy or NYU, the law degree is more distinctive and valuable long term.

But...getting that degree could be much more painful...getting a 3 year degree in 4 years at night is VERY difficult.  I've had several friends do it.  You need your employer to be understanding (maybe pay for it?) and your family to be even more so.   I've seen law school break relationships..   The MBA is much more flexible with time.

Feel free to DM if you have any more specific questions
