Sorry — here’s the rest of your answer:

Me — BA in International Politics & a language the feds like; MA in Political Science

DH — BA in History; MA in Political Science w/ a concentration in applied statistics

For me, it really helped to go to the undergrad program I did. They place extremely well into the fed gov’t. For him, it really helped to take the stats classes he did, and to then teach himself SQL and things like that.


Are you White and connected? Because with these degrees...

RN- just under 110k. Three shifts a week = full time. Make my own schedule. There's other career ventures I'm interested in, but I don't think I can give up a 3 day work week...ever.

PP here. I live in a neighborhood where a lot of my cowrokers live. But I'm looking at buying a house that's in the same small neighborhood as my CEO, at which point the cat may be out of the bag.
