<p>My husband has an MPA and has worked in various gov’t positions. He is now a Director of one of Offices in the state’s Dept. of Homeland Security. His office is responsible for developing communication systems between various first responders for natural and man-made disasters. Like at the federal level, our state’s emergency management is a part of homeland security. It’s a growing field but it’s also increasingly important to have a Masters degree to be hired to work for the gov’t.</p>
