I'm interested in education and social policy. Goal wise, I would like to work for the US Department of Education. The difference is big. I mean price wise, I can't beat UT. Tuition for me is a little over $10,000 a year. I still find myself liking Michigan more curriculum wise.
I think my interests in education and social policy will be better served at Ford quite honestly. Austin is a great city but I think my fear is that my degree from UT will keep me here in Texas permanently, I'm not sure I'm 100% comfortable with this idea.
