For general career information: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search 'medical and health services managers' or such. Please steer clear of those online, for-profit schools (may have 'bricks and mortar' buildings and may be 'accredited') such as penn foster, strayer, ashworth, university of phoenix, devry, kaplan, argosy, walden, anthem, capella, ITT tech, everest, sanford brown, career step, ashford, colorado tech and others as they are merely out to 'make a profit' (and course credits may not transfer): http://www.ripoffreport.com and can type into search.

Masters in Business Administration and Masters in Public Administration -- whats the difference

Masters in Business Administration and Masters in Public Administration -- whats the difference?
What is the difference between the two degrees? Which would be better to earn if I want to be involved with government and politics? I want to get into politics one day and want to have the proper education background to be able to do a good job. I wish to pursue a JD at the same time I earn one these two degrees. I just need to know which one I would make better use of. Thank you for your answers.

You can go into politics with any degree. You just have to be able to shmooze and have contacts. Bush has an MBA. But the most common route to break into government is a JD. As far as practical education, an MBA is more about entrepreneurship. Get a JD/MPA. An MPA will teach you a lot about public policy and you will be taking classes from people who are politicians or associate regularly with politicians if you go to a good school.

Master in Public Administration: Training in public policy and public affairs. This one is good if you want to work in government. Masters in Business Administration: A degree leading to business management, finance, high-level executive, corporate officer, etc. This one is good if you want to be a business manager or work in a corporation whether public or private. If you want to get a JD, a Masters in Public Administration may be the best option, but people with English degrees get JDs. This person might practice intellectual property law or copyright law. if you want to be a corporate attorney, you might want to get an MBA. What do you want to do and what type of company do you want to work for? If you specifically want to work for the government, you know what to do (MPA). If you see yourself in corporate America - there's your answer (MBA). It's just a matter of choice. The sites below can give you more info on the programs:

Much easier with an MPA. Government, and NGO jobs are there. Average starting salary is in the low 40s.
