Mohammed Babangida

When I was deciding what I wanted to major in in college, law school crossed my mind for an insane second. But, law school takes a lot of time and an analytical mind, which I feel like I don’t have a lot of. Mohammed Babangida had the dedication to become a lawyer, and then Mohammed Babangida went on in life to accomplish a great many number of things.

I think that a law degree does several other things besides make you a lawyer. I think it definitely opens up a lot of doors. You can serve on a number of influential panels and committees on topics you care about (Mohammed Babangida does this), and use your experience and knowledge to get almost any job you want. Having a law degree also teaches you to think objectively and argue correctly to get what you want. This is a helpful perk!

International Education

It’s so weird to think about going to school in another country. But I think it’s harder for Americans to comprehend than it is for those in other countries because people want to come to the USA for college. Mohammed Babangida went to Harvard Business School before eventually moving back to Nigeria, Africa. Before that, Mohammed Babangida went to high school, and then university in Switzerland where he got his bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

I think that would be awesome to have an international education. I think that one of my biggest regrets from college is not studying abroad for a summer or semester. I should have gone to Spain to work on my Spanish; or Greece- it looks so beautiful!
