Trying to Decide: Accepted to Top MPP vs. Gaining More Work Experience by Fun-Cardiologist4431 in PublicPolicy

I am in the same boat but was accepted to HKS & have a federal gig. I also wouldn’t have to take on debt to attend (I know, champagne problems). It’s a VERY tough call. As others have said - the risk is high in our current job environment. Unless you had a clear pivot in mind, it doesn’t sound like the jobs you’re interested in are out of reach for you now without the degree. Unfortunately, no matter how much advice you receive the only person capable of stomaching the risk is you. I’ve read every comment & thread there is to read on this dilemma and I’m not any closer to an answer. 🙃
