Can you give a little more detail into what you wanna do in public admin? That's awesome that you are so close to getting your masters!

Lorrdyn , honestly i’m not sure. I am also doing a certificate in Emergency Management and homeland Security as apart of the master’s program and I like it so i am considering something along that line.

Are you thinking like a government type of agency or a nonprofit or something else? I've had a lot of experience in nonprofits so could certainly provide some insight if that is the route you are thinking.
