Do most law schools have programs related to finance/acct? Such as securities law, tax law, corporate law?
I'm a finance major and thinking about going to law school and getting into securities law. I really don't understand the program though. Would I still be getting a Juris Doctor? Would the curriculum be standard common law taught or could the entire thing be business related? Thanks for any insight!

To become a lawyer, you need a law degree and be admitted into the bar AKA be licensed to practice law. That means you have to be prepared. You get a general legal background, the JD, then you get licensed, the bar exam. Then you find work and specialize. Where you work, will open doors to your specialty. The most prestigious firms do the kind of work you'd like to do. Aim high (ivy league) and do very well (law review). Then research your prospective employers well.

Penn has both business and nursing undergraduate programs, Wharton and School of Nursing. For top business programs, also consider, NYU (Stern), MIT, Berkeley, Emory, Michigan, Virginia. http://www.thecollegegrid.com

Where are we going to get all this money to finance all the programs and extended unemployment benefits
Where are we going to get all this money to finance all the programs and extended unemployment benefits?
It looks like we will be extending the unemployment benefits again; where are we going to get all this money? I understand that people are without jobs but the money has to come from someplace.

Take from the employed give to the unemployed, how can you lack appreciation for this simple logic. You know if they raise taxes on work to pay for people "not to work" then this will create and sustain jobs.

the SAME place they got it to BAIL OUT WALLSTREET and give them a TAX PAYER BONUS
3
Republicans are pushing for cuts in other programs to fund this, and Democrats are just going to make the money appear out of thin air.
4
Democrats have no intentions of trying to lwer the deficit. Obama will spend until he is removed from office.

Do you understand how debt and deficit works? They work in such a way that we can prolong the period of time in which we have to pay. That means that we can spend more thant we have, and still be alright. Yes, they will have to be paid for down the line, and one can see that that would occur when the economy is in better shape. The deficit and debt have very little impact on the shape our economy is in. Edit: Yes, I can see people disagree with me, but I find it interesting that no one's actually responded to my point. The closest anyone gets is by talking about making "debt slaves" out of our grandchildren who will then want to "murder" us. Considering that the people who lived through the Great Depression (you know, that time when our budget far exceeded our GDP, and was therefore far more expensive than this one) are considered the "Greatest Generation," I find that hard to believe.

As usual the productive will be housing, clothing and feeding the unproductive..

With a $1,565,000,000,000 shortfall this fiscal year, it will be entirely borrowed. bamafan - There has been no talk of increasing taxes on the employed, absolutely none.
10
Borrow more from future generations. When we are old and gray we will become the most hated generation. Our grandchildren will murder us for making them debt slaves for the rest of their lives.
11
Print money and borrow from the world
12
If 0bama has his way, he will borrow it. With him, it's out of sight out of mind. He will just let the next generation worry about it, but in the meantime this lying piece of marxism will blame the Republicans or GWB, never the low life liberals. Have the American people ever, in the 234 years of this country, had a president or an administration that out right lied as much as this president? I don't recall this happening until Clinton arrived, and it seems to have permeated the legions of liberals ever since.

Tax the middle class into welfare.
14
they will not follow the right way of doing it by fining the employers of Illegals real stiff fines and telling the unemployed they must take available jobs even if it is lower pay until the can find higher paying jobs and no unemployed benefits will be paid saving billions and cutting the national dept way down, we would have plenty of jobs by getting rid of illegals who pay nothing of medical treatments or schooling of their children, another billions of savings

tarp?,,,, ,make cuts among 2.5,000,000 federal workers

Half of every insurance company bonus and half of every Wall Street bonus to its CEOs should cover it nicely. After all, they still get to keep half.

If you have the prerequisites for medicine it only makes sense that you could apply. I know for a fact that with a math degree you can apply to finance and law school. I have a math degree and am in finance grad school now, and my roommate was a math major, as well, and is now in law school.
