I agree that a physics PhD + JD or MBA degree is very valuable, probably more valuable than the JD or MBA alone, but does it overcome the opportunity cost? We're talking 7+ years of lost income, plus the possibility of extra student debt.

But it'll let you work in areas that just a JD or MBA would not, and for a lot of people that's valuable. And you're not nearly as financially behind as if you'd gotten the straight Ph.D and played the tenure/academia game.
