I am a student (2L) at a top-20 law school. My job experience includes consulting a CEO/President of a privately held real estate investment group with 400 employees. Currently, I am in my law program's Employer Legal Advice Clinic. I find the work very stimulating, and have decided that I would like to pursue my career in business by exploring positions in HR management. Eventually, I would like to attend a top-five grad school to obtain my mba in management. Would making this career choice be illogical? Should I practice employement law in lieu of working for a consulting firm before an mba? What is the best career path I can pursue to become an HR Executive and eventual CEO?

NOTE: with emerging developments in workforce management, including quantitive analyses of the workforce, I see the HR Executive position growing in strength and popularity; furthermore, a position that will segway into a CEO as the levels of sophisticated candidates continue to grow.

Daily Q&A

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
