I have no desire for MBA, which is what most of my professional colleagues have. Thank you. The only two public policy schools I've looked at were Humphrey and Duke, and yes, the people were similar, even below the mason dixon line.Ms. Minneapolishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14129999865194780372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378170934499889680.post-67190364916491343182007-08-10T14:41:00.000-05:002007-08-10T14:41:00.000-05:00If you are considering policy school, I strongly s...If you are considering policy school, I strongly suggest going into the search and the schooling. While my two years at the Humphrey Institute were better than working an entry-level job and enabled me to bypass two years of climbing the government career ladder, the schooling end of my time there was fairly worthless.<BR/><BR/>I found the school populated with obnoxious holier-than-thou liberal-types whose purpose in class discussions seemed to be to prove themselves as the true heir to Marx, and all other fascists to be scorned.<BR/><BR/>Could just be Humphrey, but friends who attended other Policy Schools have reported similar experiences.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390183223280623363noreply@blogger.com
