Something that folks contemplating graduate school should consider as well
is the debate between getting a masters in PR/Communications/Journalism
versus getting a MBA. I have a Masters in Communications and quite frankly,
while it certainly carries some weight, a MBA seems to have more prominence
in the business community. This may be especially true for someone wanting
more of a practical graduate education, and especially for someone working
in a corporate setting or for clients who have business degrees.

One comment I'd like to make about graduate programs is that there are
apparently two types. One is research-oriented and the other is
practical-tactical. My degree is in the research and I wish I'd gotten
the practical, but what I wanted is not available in my area. It hasn't
been useless, just not AS useful as I think the practical would be.
