Most international development jobs require an MA, so the sooner you can package your PC experience and an MA the better. It works best if you have a pretty clear idea of what you want to study. I did not do the MI myself, because I joined PC (in part) to make myself a more competitive candidate for graduate school. I ended up going to the Monterey Institute (www.miis.edu) which has several MI programs. 96 weeks ago
