    🙄 🤔... 🍿... 😉 In itself it is not a bad idea, since as a consultant you are faced with problem solving or system improvement with various customers/companies who are representative of the society : administrative , industrial or social structures. . . That said: nothing to do but it's funny, how they manage to do two things at the same time ... 😹 😹 😹 😹 😹 😹 😹 😹

    Lol I’m a senior in high school thinking about law school. I got into Berkeley for English but would you recommend English over a degree in Rhetoric. And also Berkeley is expensive do you think it’s worth spending so much on undergrad if you’re thinking about pursuing law school?

  • @bykchoi

    @bykchoi

    4 жыл бұрын

    I cant really recommend one over the other - I majored in English, but I don’t know too much about rhetoric. I also know people who are in/went to law school who all majored in different things! Congrats on getting into berkeley!! It is expensive (especially if you’re out of state), but again... it’s such a personal (and also practical) decision in terms of whether or not it’s worth it. So all that to say, it’s not a black or white answer. I would recommend writing out the different pros and cons of what you’re considering and try to go from there!
