Would it be better for me to get a PhD in PoliSci or a Master's of Public Administration?
I want to end up writing or analyzing policy, either for the government or a public entity. What should I do?

I think PhD in PoliSci. (I majored in polisci in college...you learn a lot of material that is transferable in the world & makes it easier to get jobs in broader fields.)

"Decent money" and "non-profit" seldom, if ever, are used in the same sentence. ......LOL

what type of job can you get with a masters in public administration

I am really interested in the degree. I dont know much about it and since there are not many schools that offer the program, finding information is rather difficult. Any job that you know of would help a bunch, government or public.

It depends upon the educational requirements where you live. At the level of principal, you might need to possess a post-Master's certificate. A local college or educational school might have more specifics in the area you live in. Your MPA degree should have an equivalent level of flexibility as a MBA...just build up your working or volunteer experience along a line of different industries...that way you give yourself more of that flexibility. Unless you are going to be certified or licensed from your education, or you are "specializing" such as being a lawyer, engineer or nurse, and you hold a significant amount of general and varied working experience, and you have established a significant and important networking system in the professional atmosphere, the major of your degree typically is only important to you.

Most schools want principals that have first been teachers. But the exception might be a rural school or private school...and then you would get some experience. I'm also not sure about your degree -- most principals have Master's of Educational Administration.

You have to be certified in school administration to be a principal in most states. I have never met a principal who did not teach for a while before getting administration certification. Public administration might qualify you for administrative work in many corporations. Hospitals have administrators as do other health facilities.
