I'm an upper junior in NYU's undergrad MCC program. (I'm a double major in the Politics program.)
I'm trying to figure out whether I want to go for my MA, and then move onto a PhD. All I know right now is that I went to a career roundtable last night and all it did was thoroughly depress me. I'm not interested in Marketing (unless I'm on a creative team), Public Relations, Event Planning or broadcast journalism.
I am interested in media studies and research. (I'm really enjoying the Video Game class I'm taking.)
I'm curious to know how people decided to go on for the PhD. I just feel a huge push to go into certain fields with a media degree.
Am I jumping the gun by thinking about the PhD now? Should I just worry about getting into an MA program first?
