You should get a degree online because if you're a go-getter with the perpetual desire to succeed, chances are you've already made some significant education accomplishments along the way. So what role would an MBA plan in your scenario? Just ask Martin Ramey, an attorney at a California-based firm, who decided to work toward his MBA just as his law career was launching. He knew he wanted additional education, but was hesitant about sacrificing his experience as an attorney.

"Law school does not prepare lawyers to be good business people, and being able to relate to business people is critical," he says. "Secondly, a lot of the issues we deal with are business-related a law firm is a professional service like anything else."
