B-school
I know tons of people who have gone or are going to business school at U of C ("GSB") and Northwestern ("Kellogg"). Almost all of them have some work experience. However, it's not like they're all did things that were that relevant to business school. For some of them, the work experience was completely irrelevant. It's just a barrier to entry, because business shools want to graduate older, more accomplished students, blah blah blah. Plus, I think your two years as a lawyer, Coltrane, would be considered more like three or four years some tool had in a marketing firm doing whateverthefuck those people do.
Second, if you don't have any attachment to being a lawyer or the profession, it's not a bad jump to make to go to business school, if you go to a good one. You will take a unique perspective and unique knowledge. I know a very few people who have managed to get an MBA over five years at night while working in law firms (only one was in Biglaw, and I still have no idea how she did it), and their opportunities have all expanded greatly.
But, without sounding too much like someone sebby will think is a tool cat or someone who teemy will think needs a mentor or a good ass-fucking, I do think that there is something special and unique about certain aspects of the practice of law. I won't go into a long diatribe about that here (since I have a full day of the stuff that is standard and boring about the practice of law ahead of me), but I think you should consider why you went to law school, whether you like the ways that law and other professions are different, and whether you want to give that up.
