A masters in political science, an MPA, or an MPP degree are essential if you want to work in government, at least in a middle-level management-type role. There are exceptions, but many government and NGO positions require an advanced degree.

If you’re working in political science or policy and don’t know statistics, you probably won’t get a job in the field.
