I currently have a B.S. in Social Work and am going for my M.P.A. I am worried that I will not be able to find a job after achieving my masters. I live in Chicago and am trying to find a way of going about finding an entry-level job for a position in Public Administration.

I have an MPA, and given the state of the economy, it is next to impossible for me to find a job in the public sector. If you choose to pursue the degree, I offer the following advice: 1) Work throughout your program so that you do not have to look for a job when you get out. 2) If you do not have a job, intern the entire time you are in the program, even if just for 10 hours a week. 3) Learn something useful, like statistical analysis and public finance, preferably both so you can become a Finance or Management Analyst. Enough people know organizational theory and leadership. 4) Anything with "strategic" in the title is probably a good class to take.
