You could teach social studies, politics, or civics at any level, including at some colleges. You could run for public office, or you could serve as a staffer to an elected official. Every politician has lots of staff who do everything from setting up their schedule to advising them on policy issues. You could work for a government agency, for a nonprofit, or for a business that needs someone to liaise with the government. You have so many options - it really depends on what interests you!

What are some starting ideas for internships in public administration

What are some starting ideas for internships in public administration?
I'm planning on entering an MPA program next fall. I know it's kind of a long way off, but I really want to do an internship after I complete my studies. The degree I will be getting is a Master's in Public Administration. I will probably choose the concentration in Nonprofit Administration. I'd really like to do my internship for a large NGO - preferably one with an international focus. I would also consider internships in the federal or state government if I still could have a public service focus. Where are some good places to start?

If you are in the U.S., get in touch with your local senators and representatives (state and federal) and government leaders. If you give them a really big campaign donation, that is even better.

It could--especially if you do a program with a strong international P.A. emphasis. Some MPA programs (I know the University of Washington is one) have a cooperative arrangement with the Peace Corps that lets you begin your study on campus, then go into the Peace Corps and get credit for work you do there, and then return and finish up your degree. That might be something you'd want to look at.
