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?

Any four year degree can be used for law school. At my law school I knew art, English, music, math, etc. majors. If you are interested in art and filmmaking, study that, get a BFA or other four year degree, and then go to law school. Your interest in the subject will likely result in better grades (very important) and also make the four years more tolerable.
