So, I have decided that I want to pursue my Masters in Public Admin, my passion is in working for non-profits, this is ultimately what I want to do for living. However, I just started working for my Fed Agency less than a year ago and I am afraid of leaving steady employment for school again. Also just graduated in 2008.
What is a girl to do? I have bills to pay, but I don't entirely love what I do. I don't want to go to a school in my area ( Virginia Beach) and have been looking at looking at schools in NY,NJ (parents live here), Northern VA, MD, DC area. I am afraid to lose my income, but I have always been about forward movement, especially when I have a clear idea about something.
Any suggestions on how I can make the transition smooth or where to start?
Does anyone know of any great MPA part-time programs in these areas that could work with a 9-5 job?
