I originally wanted to earn a planning degree (masters level) but circumstances changed and I'm working on an MPA. Some say I could still work as a planner and yet others say that I could get my 'point' across better as an administator or that the planning field has a lower ceiling than mgmt/admin...(I'm one of those 'for the community' types in case u r curious as to my 'point')...any opinions or experience with this notion? al fustration. Good luck.
