[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need a Masters unless you want to be a lobbyist assistant.[/quote] This just isn't true.[/quote] DP. You're right. As a Hill staffer and lobbyist/policy lawyer, my assistants had master's degrees. I have hired many college grads over during my career, and I can't add much to the discussion of the "best" public policy programs, because public policy grads from top 20 schools are a dime a dozen. It's fine as a major, if it's what your kid is interested in, and they should certainly go to the best school they can get into, but others here are correct that other degrees (specifically economics and law, or both) are more valuable. The most important things to do are volunteer, get internships, work your connections and don't think you're too good to start out at the bottom. The degree is just checking the box. The stuff you do outside of school is what will build your career. [/quote]
