In-House Counsel undergraduate major?

[JayMekk]

I plan on graduating from my school with a bs/mba in accounting through a 3+2 program.  Afterwards, attend a school for corporate law.  Would this increase my chances of one day becoming an in-house counsel or should i just stick to a regular business job after completing my J.D?

don't know why you'd waste 3 years of your life getting a JD if you wanted a regular business job

and I don't know if an MBA would help, and it looks like it would take at least 1 year extra out of your life.

Although this is probably not always the case, generally, companies hire highly experienced attorneys for in-house positions.  So, chances are not good that one can land an in-house job directly out of  law school.

Holmes is right.  The path to be in-house counsel is to graduate at the very top of your law school class, get a job with a big firm doing something related to corporations, then after 5 years or so, you quit your $350,000 a year job to take a $130,000 a year job as in-house.  Anything else is completely irrelevant.
