Friends,I need advice and help, if you have a moment.
I have a degree in English Lit. and Liberal Studies. I have been involved in the collection and spread of information related to in ternational development and human rights efforts (mostly Burma).
I am now planning to go to grad.-school with my future wife in Washington D.C.
I need to find a Masters-level program in which I can combine my love for lite rature, my desire to further human rights/development, and the necessity of ga ining the qualifications required for a good career.
I define "good career" as a satisfying one in which I can help many people whi le having the opportunity to continually learn and improve myself. Of course i t would also have to pay well enough for me to support a family, but that amou nt varies, depending on which country we live in.
Naturally I have a few of my own ideas - some practical, others improbable - b ut I would like to know what you suggest. If any of you care to tell me your own stories, of how you personally arrive w here you are now, and your future plans, I will be glad to hear them.
I am still at the beginning of life, and the beginning of my education. I now have to decide my future - although I will always keep my options open a s much as practical.
Thank you for your time.
