I am at a crossroads, getting ready to retire from civil service and wanting to re-enter the world of global development. I am trying to decide if I need to go back to school for my master’s, or if my seven overseas years in the Peace Corps and 20 years civil service doing project management is enough to get my foot in the door. So I guess the question is: When does experience outweigh education?
A master’s degree requires a substantial financial and time commitment. I’d like to circumvent that and enter the workforce as soon as possible. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Back to school
