is a philosophy degree at undergrad a good route into practicing

That's fine.

Yeah, a philosophy degree is basically the default degree people get when planning on doing law. If you do that, look at other prerequisite courses that most law schools require or prefer to make sure you've taken all the pre-law courses your degree might not necessarily require.

But honestly I'm going to a fairly good law school right now, and the most common degrees are philosophy, economics, English and business. You can basically major in whatever you want as long as you do the pre-req courses, get good grades and do well on your LSAT.

Thanks alot. I'll be 27 when I graduate uni, do you think my age will affect my career prospects when it comes to finding work in the legal field? what sort of age range are the students in your school?

First years are 24-28, generally. I wouldn't worry about the age thing, I don't think. Basically everyone dicks around for at least a year or two between undergrad and law school these days.

That's a pretty normal degree, but something like an engineering or science degree can open doors to fields that you otherwise wouldn't have access to, like biotech or patent law.

Philosophy is pretty standard though. If you are considering corporate law, maybe a degree like economics or finance.
