[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The value of an MA in IR is pretty questionable so if you are going to go that route it should at least be from a top program and that would be GU and not GMU. Are you sure you really need it to get a job? Don't think that doors are going to swing wide open once you do have that GU (or GMA or SAIS, or whatever) IR MA. Maybe investigate the jobs that interest you and see if the MA is even that essential. It's a lot of money for a degree that half the people in DC seem to have. [/quote] The low value of the degree is precisely the reason to get the less expensive one. The fact that so many people have one is precisely the reason to get one. My first job was all mid-20-somethings fresh out of grad school. Some had GU degrees... some SAIS... some GWU... some JMU... the "prestige" of their alma mater didn't matter one bit. Everyone did the same thing, for the same money, and with the same prospects for future advancement.[/quote]
