I'm an accounting major, and I have a serious knack for it (not to toot my own horn, of course). After undergrad, I'm going to get my master's in accounting. I would like to go to law school after completing my master's and possibly get an LLM in taxation. I keep hearing/reading about how bad the job market is for lawyers, is the job market better for those with an LLM in taxation?

I recently got my application for a college I really want to go to and I really want a business degree because I want to become a corporate attorney when I'm older. Anyway, my plan is to go to law school immediately after undergrad but I'd like to have a job or something for money so I can start paying back on student loans. Anyway could someone provide descriptions for each one I offer: Accounting, Economics, Finance, Management, E-Business, and Marketing.

I'm a fifteen year old looking into my options as a career. Before you give the "You're too young" speech, please note that I will be graduating next year. I recently took an aptitude test and discovered that I would fit in well in law, especially being a tax attorney, which is ironic because I was thinking about being that. However, I was afraid that a job like that would only provide with business during tax season. I also think it would be boring to practice only one type, as I would like to also practice adoption, DUI, family matters and business partnerships. I have been searching the internet and have not been able to find really what I am looking for, and my parents went to college online so they aren't the biggest help in this process.I appreciate you taking the time to help a little teenager create her future.

I graduated college with an undergrad in accounting and finance. I am currently getting my cpa and working as a tax accountant. I am trying to figure out if i should pursue a law degree or get a masters in taxation. If I get a law degree,I am interested in specializing in tax law. I have allways wanted to attend law school, but I am told that there is an excess amount of lawyers, thus depressing wages. Further, my work will pay for a masters in taxation, but will not pay for a law degree. What do you think, law degree or masters in tax. To be honest, law school is a dream, but I think about alternatives, b/c of cost.

1. If gay marriage were to be legal, what effect would it have on the nation as a whole? 2. What effect would it have on you specifically? 3. Why do you oppose/support gay marriage? Please show your thought process/reasoning as much as possible. 4. Do you believe your reason is supported by the U.S. Constitution and the spirit in which the nation was founded? How so? Scouse, 'evil' is very ill-defined, and largely in the eye of the beholder. Its not a concept that could reasonably be used to determine public policy. You have an opinion, so you must have a reason besides that one (I hope). I'd love to hear it, the opposition isn't very well represented so far.
