I overheard this conversation tonight in a restaurant, and my ears perked up, because I have my Master's of Public Administration too.
Girl to guy: How's your girl?
Guy: She's good, she went to Roger Williams University and Rhode Island College to check out their MPA programs.
Girl: I have my MPA too.
My thoughts: Me too, I have mine too. I wonder what they do with theirs.
Girl: I am still not sure what I'm going to do with my degree.
Guy: Yeah, I know.
Girl: But that's not really the point, is it.
My thoughts: Really, it's not?
Girl: What does she want to do with hers, work for the state government or local government?
Guy: She would like to be an Executive Director of a non-profit.
My thoughts: That's exactly what I thought I would do with mine!
Hmmmmmm....
I wish I could do it part time for now. Maybe I should create my own non-profit.
