I graduated out of the Public Policy department with a MPA (Public Administration (HC Admin). I thought HC admin was the ticket. IT IS if you are...
And I am not ____ or ___.
I'm not using the degree at this time, but I had been told that getting on the Federal Registry is not a bad idea.
Interning with State or Local, even Federal government agencies.
In light of the 9-11 incident, I don't think that I will EVER seek employment with ANY government agency. I don't think it's safe. I LOVE my stint with Education.
I do have Sorors/friends who do have Master degrees in PA and are working for (to name a couple) the Federal Government (Dept of Defense) and a local government agency.
You might want to get into politics a little, after graduation. I"m not saying to vie for an office, but politicians like mayors and governors will need public policy people in their camp, so to speak. That's an avenue for you as well.
Now, when talking about Social Work, that's wide open.
Good luck!
