Value of a MSc. International Development

[screamorange]

Hey guys,

I have recently been admitted to MSc. in Capacity/ International Development. I am very interested in this field, I want to specifically focus on development through environmental conservation. I would like to go into consulting for a bit once I graduate. However, I would like to know basically....how far will a masters in international development get me? Have I made the right decision to go to grad school for this? I have heard people say the level of unemployment or underemployment in this field is high. I really dont want to spend all that money, and spend 2 years...only to see it all go to a waste. If anyone is studying international development or is a graduate.....please feel free to leave any suggestions.
