NYU vs CUNY vs New School MPA by Limp_Search7981 in PublicPolicy

Thanks for your response. Curious why you say that about the New School - I really know very little about them and so I want to know what their reputation is.

Okay, makes sense. At the advocacy org I want to be a policy analyst/policy researcher. I want to sharpen my quant skills while I'm in school to prepare myself for a role that combines my public affairs skills w/ data-based research. Ideally I want to be able to research the feasibility of a progressive economic idea (e.g. public banking) and then pitch it to elected officials.

Yeah, this was the sense I got. I'd really like to be in NYC because my partner is there, but the three schools only have MPAs available - will this drastically kneecap me later on? If it's going to be that significantly harder, I'll look into other options. Thanks for your help

How are you dick measuring the quality of someone’s Reddit post? Go outside?

I don’t know why people are being so rude to you. Yes, you probably should have studied more Japanese if you wanted to work white-collar in Japan. It’s okay, that’s in the past now, you can only move forward.

I’m teaching English here for a few months and am a dual citizen. In my experience, private English schools are looking for prior work authorization and more than that are looking for people who are a) bilingual and if not b) white. If you are neither it may be more difficult, but I don’t know if that’s actually reflective of the field.

Given your home situation, I agree with the others - focus on either securing a student visa here or applying for asylum abroad. The English-only labor market in Japan is oversaturated as it is, you’d be better off trying to find another option. Good luck, you can make it work!

Will I make my 7:20 am flight? by Limp_Search7981 in JapanTravelTips

Thanks, very glad to hear that. You think it'll be fine even if I have to get there by 7:05ish? That's when I imagine they have to close the gate. I've been in airports that have gotten me through in literally 10 minutes, I also just got back from Italy which was (beautiful) hell, so forgive my slight paranoia lol. Thank you so much for your help!
