I am not that keen on doing a phd in all honesty and want to go into work afterwards, which seems to be the opposite of most Chicago applicants on here. Would love to work in the US but seems like a near impossibility with visa issues (until my brother who's an American citizen by birth turns 21) but Chicago probably holds more weight in the long term.
Also the fact I can do 9 interesting modules at Chicago compared to less at LSE is appealing, I'm just not sure how much depth they can go when LSE does half as many in the same amount of time.
Does anyone know anything about job prospects after graduating from Chicago? I know there are stats on the website but they aren't very specific and just say that not everyone gets a phd. I feel it's reputation is fairly broad based, which might be useful in the private sector, but I was looking more toward government/public sector work rather than going into something purely to pay off loans (which I probably would if I went to a DC policy based program)
