Thank you very much jndaven! Those are some really good questions to consider. I will definitely think them through. I am actually less sure of my career plans than I sound. I don't have much experience in this field so I guess I won't know for sure that it's for me until I'm working in it full-time. Anyway, Thanks!!

I am currently finishing up my undergraduate degree in health sciences and would like to eventually work in the field of health policy and administration. Other than short summer/part-time experiences, I don't have much work experience. I have been offered admission to a respected MPA program for health policy that has high placement rates within the government. I may also be offered a competitive two-year paid internship in policy development with the government but this would not necessarily be in health policy since it involves rotations within the government. It seems good to get experience yet I fear I may never end up going back for my graduate degree, which I feel is important in this career and has been a personal goal as well. Any thoughts/advice on how to make this decision would be greatly appreciated.
