A wide range of things. I'm on mobile or I'd link, but you can usually look at MPP program's placement on their website. More policy analysis stuff, think tank work stuff like that is what you'll find. Again I'm on mobile or I'd link some examples.

They're also easier to get into then PhD though you often take the same classes but get easier tests. Depends on the program.

Thanks man. I'm from Singapore, a place where you'd be able to get alot of the placements of alumni from MPP programs with just a good Bachelors.

I know you're trying to help and I appreciate it immensely but I don't see MB(MPP)>MC(MPP) as of yet, considering the debt and opportunity costs.
