I’m a junior majoring in English (Rhetoric) with a minor in Energy Engineering. I’m wanting to work for a large energy firm doing Public Affairs. Upon reviewing the websites of BP and Exxon, it appears by best career options would come about if I get a Masters in Journalism, Communication, etc.

I’m paying out-of-state tuition and looking into attend the same school for my Masters Degree. Should I work a few years and gain citizenship within the state? There is a $400 credit/hour difference in cost.
