so I recently got fully employed with the local city government and I’m actively looking to engage with an MPA program in the fall of 2026.

I guess I’m just a bit concerned that I’m pigeonholing myself by solely going for an MPA rather than an MBA. But my future career prospects that I would like to pursue would always be in the capacity of public service in particular like I would prefer to be a policy analyst or some form of a policy analysis role.

so I guess I’m just kind of curious because as of right now I’m working on the constituent side of things, but I would like to pursue policy after the fact like which next steps would be most appropriate? Especially as in pursuing my MPA.
