Slaan posted:As in a Masters of Public Affairs or Public Policy? 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. I'm going to second that, if you want to go work for the Federal government or a state/local government directly (as a civil servant or appointee), this is the route to go. It's less necessary or unnecessary on the pure political or political-policy route. I'm at a think-tank type institution now after taking a break from the cesspool of day-to-day DC politics*, and most of us at the policy level with advanced degrees are JDs or MA/PhDs. *That's a lie; you can't escape.
