It's a good degree to have and just having my MPA and Peace Corps service I'm already interviewing with 4 different agencies. If you want to work with the Feds or a big city directly, rather than campaign work, I'd highly recommend it. Plus, its 90% the same skill set as MBAs while being half the cost, so it also works for private jobs as well as long as you can bullshit well in an interview.

Yep, what I was talking about. You'll learn a good amount of stuff there, and some of them are able to be done in just a year or part time. The average salary is about ~75k public sector, 85/90k private (mostly consulting). If this one is anything like my program, it'll be heavy on statistics (using SAS or SPSS or R), monitoring and evaluation, economics, law, program design and client/internal management. It's a very broad degree that can work in just about any job you can think of.

Mooseontheloose posted:crazy people don't like me How do managers deal with crazy candidates, like your Sharon Angles, Ben Carsons or Lincoln Chafees? Is it just a slog for your paycheck and hope you made them shut up enough to win, or are there methods that help mitigate the crazy egoists?
