A law degree from Oxford is versatile. You can choose to practise as a lawyer in Singapore or in the UK. You can even choose to leverage your law degree to a management consulting/banking job in Singapore. ROI wise it is definitely higher considering a law degree only cost 200k while a med degree overseas can cost upwards of 600k
Yea not that easy to become a specialist ofc but I am willing to wait 2-3 years as an MO to get the specialty that I want. I did the calculation and despite the wait the long term ROI is good. Ur point regarding MBB and banking taken but I could do the same with a Med degree.
