Of 648 students graduating from Missouri State University from 1938 to 2002 who  went on to become attorneys the following are their majors.  Please note the diversity.  While political science is most represented, many, many other majors have worked out very well.

The message?  The choice of a major is no where as important as other factors in the pursuit of the law.
