[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a valid question. I did my MA in International Development 20 years ago- and then my career took an unexpected twist and I did not work in the field (fwiw, I worked at and then founded a tech startup instead). Most of my friends and classmates in the field either went Govt (USAID, State, IAF etc) or were working for contractors like Chemonics. It’s been carnage. They’re switching fields, a very few are working with foreign governments directly, some took early retirement Really tough times. I would not enter a graduate program in ID right now. Maybe in 2-3 years… [/quote] Agree with this. I’m also seeing people land jobs they are massively overqualified for, which is making it harder for everyone else. But the landscape is so bad that everyone is shifting down and taking whatever they can find.[/quote]
