[quote=Anonymous]Depends on the field you're looking at. If you want to enter, as one example, the field of end of life issues (living wills, guardianship), then your law degree is probably fine, and it's definitely better than a candidate with a generic masters in public policy. While a Ph.D. is desirable, it's not always necessary unless you're shooting for a place like Brookings or AEI (not Heritage though). I know a number of people with masters in public policy and/or economics who have been quite successful in think-tank type advocacy organizations. The transition to a public policy organization might be easier if you're willing to start out on the organization's lobbying side. Organizations need lobbyists who can understand, interpret, and lobby for change in the US Code. [/quote]
