Does anyone else have any thoughts on the prospects of finding decent employment directly after MAPSS? I understand most ppl intend to use MAPSS as a stepping stone to top phd programs. I'm curious to know what this degree can do for people not interested in pursuing a phd. How much does this degree boost your chances of finding a good job (if the courses you select are focused in an area that has relative appeal to employers)? i.e. jobs in research or w/e else.

Ok cool. I appreciate the response, Bactrian. Any information is good information!

What are the prospects of finding a decent job in Chicago or wherever else after completing MAPSS? I'm curious to know how seriously employers take a one year master degree. How helpful is the degree for people who want to go right into work (rather than apply for a phd) and be done with grad school altogether?

I'm curious to know how seriously employers take a one year masters degree, more specifically a MAPSS degree. Is the degree helpful at all for people who want to go right into work (rather than apply for a phd) and be done with grad school altogether? Also, how helpful are advisors in helping students find meaningful employment?
