MP Jet Lim is a lawyer by profession having graduated from San Beda College of Law in 2005 and was immediately admitted to the Philippine Bar in 2006. He took his pre-law degree of AB Political Science from the University of the Philippines – Manila in Padre Faura, Manila, and spent his first two (2) years of college as one of the pioneering students of the University of the Philippines – Mindanao in Davao City.

As a fledgling lawyer, he joined as an associate lawyer in Cayafiga Zuniga & Angel Law Offices in Makati City. He then joined the Government as a lawyer for the National Housing Authority and the Internal Affairs Service of the Philippine National Police, and at the same time, establishing his private law practice.
