<p>chrisw, that is very correct. I guess what I meant was that a MA will help fill that void of real work experience-- not everyone can get an internship all 3 or 4 of those summers during their BA years. </p>
<p>This is also a very contentious issue because it’s not like interns get to do anything important… I was an intern at a major defense firm but I honestly did not do jack sh**. Good money but as far as “real experience” went, I did not learn much that would benefit my career goals.</p>
