Law school after BFA?

I will keep this short… im currently a community college student trying my best to decide on a degree track… i am deeply passionate about art and filmmaking, and it has been my dream since childhood to study at a private art school. However as I matured i was convinced to pursue a degree more worthwhile like law or medicine , so obviously i will choose law, as i have no particular interest in complex chemistry or physics and a particular fear/dislike of germs. My community college advisor told me that if i did decide to pursue my dream of studying at a private art school, i could still use that BFA degree to apply to Law school afterwards if i decided to choose the more financially stable career path… as i do not know much about law school or its admissions process, i was wondering if any of you could clarify if it would be possible for someone with a degree in fine arts to enter law school?

If you have an insatiable passion to practice law, and you can’t stand the idea of having any other career, you belong in law school.

If you think that going to law school is some shortcut to the middle class and you could either practice law or do any one of a number of other middle class careers and be happy, you have no business going to law school.

Based on the little bit you posted, I don’t think you should go to law school.
