IB accepts candidates from all kinds of degrees, even arts or PPE. But the competition is very fierce. Just go look at the IB forums or countless the eFinancial Careers articles.
If you've been sucked into the whole law firm career trajectory and have been padding your CV towards law related stuff, as is natural for most law students, its very difficult to suddenly to a 360 deg switch to finance suddenly and justify to the hirers why u did so.
Goldman Sachs will simply take on another (of 5000) outstanding grads who have shown fanatical interest in finance since day 1 of their uni lives.
To a lesser extent the same applies with management consulting.

Exactly. So if making money is your priority, then this is the path you should take.
Granted you can do a law degree, that doesn’t mean you have to be a lawyer.
You can always angle your CV towards IB/MC.
What’s stopping a person from doing that? Nothing.
