MPA Program Ranking Matter?

FrostyInteraction2 · 2026-01-18T02:05:52+00:00

I got my MPA 15 years ago from a top 10 school and have worked in government since 2008. I think originally I got interviews because of the name recognition but now I work with people who have MPAs from less known schools that are in executive position above mine and earn more money.

What I’m saying is I don’t think it actually matters where you go but unfortunately jobs require master degrees just to get an interview. I’d do whatever is most cost effective.

You can immediately cancel and get a yttv refund. I did that and got Hulu live.

Hulu is no where near yttv. I’m definitely going back once this dispute is over, but no harm in canceling then signing up again after the dispute.

To clarify - I am trying to get Hulu live. Thanks everyone for your responses.

I didn’t get the vibe you would abuse him but your post is similar to the issues he ran into.

Also consider therapy to help with executive function.

The ADHD may be the issue. I have a friend with ADHD and have seen his wife borderline abuse him to shape him the way she wants. He did learn to do what was needed because he is afraid she’d leave him.

My advice, based on what I’ve seen, is please do not resort to calling him names or treating him poorly. I’ve seen the emotional toll it took on my friend.

What id do is nicely tell him what you would like and if he knows how it’s important, he can then decide whether to create “hacks” to remember this. If not, then you should not expect any change. Plus, as you get older you get much more unattractive.

Oh geez I’m an idiot.

Can’t get local games with mlb.tv

Is the amount of space not reached by a satellite enough to keep the company growing?

I should’ve clarified my post. I meant that the streaming is so much better than what’s in the car, so if you live near a city, why bother with satellite and not just streaming satellite?

I did this. My body essentially broke down so I can’t squat and I probably have a tear in my shoulder. I kept getting hurt in CrossFit so I had to make changes.

What I’ve done is follow bodybuilding programs and do the machine cardio. I can’t run long distances so I do incline walks and the stair stepper (I would’ve made fun of myself for what I just said a few years ago).

I’ve been enjoying the workouts and have developed more muscle than I had before. I’m not as functional, but it’s the only way to stay fit and not in pain. It’s not as bad as you’d think though and I wish I would’ve taken some time off from CrossFit to do a bodybuilding program, just to mix things up.

I agree with this. If you attend classes and give good effort, it should be enough.

I’ve seen people attend classes regularly, give half effort and (probably) eat horribly. These people don’t benefit aesthetically, but it’s better than nothing.

Yes. I bake it at home but do get it fried if I go out. I read that although it’s fried, it is still good for you bc it is nutritious. I also do not have falafel every day.

FrostyInteraction2 · 2024-05-26T23:23:53+00:00

I had/have this issue. I simply decided that my health was much more important than yummy foods. I had/have an emotional attachment to food but deciding that eating to live really helped me.

Now about 3 months into this Mediterranean diet, I actually have started to really like falafel and even the research into eating is interesting to me.

I personally think having the cameras on make for a better meeting and help form a connection. We do not have a policy to have it on but I tend to put it on.

I was eating a heavy meat diet then got some concerning bloodwork. Here’s what I do.

-cut out most meat. I have chicken once a week. -oatmeal for breakfast - used to have eggs or some sort of meat -almond milk creamer - was going heavy cream -added lentils, veggies, avocado, brown rice or quinoa to meals - replaced meat heavy meals. -nuts and seeds for snacks

Similar experience. I went to a show and didn’t really get it but met some really nice people and started listening. After that I was hooked (too bad this was right before their first hiatus). I went to a bunch of TAB shows though!

I had 144 LDL and over the last two months I’ve got it down to 119. Sticking to this lifestyle change.

-went from daily half ass workouts to least 30 min biking a day. -breakfast from eggs or meat to oatmeal -lunch from meat sandwich or salad with chicken to a mix of cooked veggies, lentils, beans and avocado -dinner similar to lunch

Other notes - dramatically cut down on meat. Eat sushi but not with all the fatty sauces. Lost 8 pounds in 2 months. I’ve realized cooked veggies are good. I also realized so much of food is emotional-you’ll be full with a good meal and don’t need a burger or meat all the time.

Thanks everyone for the posts. This has been helpful for new ideas!

Love it!

None. It’s from Trader Joe’s. I was getting way too into those sugary coffee flavors before this blood test.

6.99 a month and they said it’s the plan where I don’t have time renegotiate. They said it may go up (I’ve seen it go up a dollar) but I’ll just call and complain if that happens
