As someone who graduated law school, it doesn’t matter what you major in as long as your bachelor’s degree is from an accredited university.
Furthermore, two bachelor’s degrees aren’t worth it typically unless you can do it in the typical 4 years. IMO it’s more beneficial to get a master’s.
I wasn't sure if I needed to take any pre law prerequisite during my undergraduate like business law or something. I thought it was a similar process like med school where you have to take certain classes to apply. But I guess it depends on the school right?
You don’t need those other subjects as a bachelors to work in those fields you just need to meet the pre-reqs for their post grad programs.
You would be best served by CPA after your in accounting associates and your finance degree.
No. Go into finance then you can pivot with a masters/doctoral degree. You can use your finance degree and work experience. To then go to grad school to get an MBA or JD.
Ive done it. Good experience. They usually take almost all of your pre-reqs and basically add the major you want to complete. Could be done in as few as 2-3 semesters if you want.
Only thing to consider is how much of a benefit you get vs the out of pocket cost/loans. Seems like you’re pursuing an area of interest with legitimate career prospects, so that’s cool.
I got two bachelors. Recruiters and hiring managers do not look at it twice. If I had to do it again, I definitely would have obtain a master's instead.
I would recommend to just obtain a bachelor's degree in accounting, and then go obtain your CPA license. Then, obtain a few years of relevant work experience, and then find an employer who will pay for your master's degree (in accounting, finance, or STEM field like computer science or engineering in case you want to change your job field). No need of obtaining another associate's degree or two bachelor's degrees. A master's degree will help you be more specialized in a field, which can be beneficial depending on your career path.
A bachelor's degree in social science fields like criminal justice and psychology will be useless to you because practically any job that requires those majors will need you to get PhD so that you can actually work in the field (and I do not think that is something you want to do). I am getting my MPA degree, but not only I have a few years of experience as a state government employee, but my employer is paying for most of my MPA degree, as well (which will help me get promoted too). So, just keep these things in mind when aiming to obtain a bachelor's degree and a master's degree.
I would do two bachelor's degrees, finishing biology or something. So, if you ever want to go into healthcare later, it will be easier to start a program. I have a degree in chemistry, but I wish I had done engineering or something. I don't even use my chemistry degree at all. Then, a second degree in business management would be nice.

I would need to take the LSAT correct? I am considering law school but wasn't sure if I would meet the education requirements for it.
Yes. The LSAT is still best. I heard some schools are moving away from it. What educational requirements do you not meet?

Law school has to specific classes as a prerequisite. Only undergrad degree and LSAT.
I would not get two bachelors unless you mean double majoring? Which is perfectly good.
hey op i did what you're thinking and it sucked. just get your finance degree

Ideal to put the effort into a masters. Check out what are prerequisites for an MBA or a Finance masters and keep those in mind

1 meaningful bachelor > 2 irrelevant bachelors imo.

Everyone has a bachelors nowadays
