What do you want to do with your degree once you graduate? Go on to get a PhD, if so where? Local, State, or Federal gov't, doing what and where? It seems as though most people on here are going to fancy ivy league schools the rest of the population can only dream about. I had to look up what most of the acronyms stood for. That should be another thread in its own..
Me, I want to be a town manager of a small to medium sized area in the mountains or the coast.
