[QUOTE="donpisto, post: 2945556, member: 568577"] Speaking to a Director in our department in the city, I asked him about getting my masters. I asked for recommendations and he told me it really doesn't matter where you get it, as long as you have it. The school you get it from only has some minimal effect. For example, the majority of the council members and a few of the big shots in the city i work for graduated from USC. If I were to graduate with a master's from there it may stick in their mind as far as the alumni thing goes. they know the program, they know what it takes to get through it, and based on how well you did it can give a general idea of your capabilities. But say if I go to a state university I still have my Master's and its shows i took the time to educate myself further, thus dedication, so its a win win situation no matter where you get your PhD from. You could always talk to your parents and working out some sort of deal if you don't want to move out yet. [/QUOTE]
