Different strokes for different folks. I've had nights where I find myself desperately applying for other jobs and other nights where I bounce back. The longer we stay the greater the reward, at least that's what we're told.

The truth is, in today's environment there's no secret sauce. I'm a fan of the strategy of always being open to new opportunities, which LinkedIn let's you do with a single click now, why let anything pass you by? Jump when you find what's right.

What kind of Masters program would you recommend for someone hoping to make it into a senior leadership/executive role in Comms/PR? I have over 6 yrs of experience in Comms in public/private sector. However, I haven't had any formal education in Comms/Journalism which I have felt always put me at a disadvantage. My question is, is there an advantage of doing a Masters to improve my chances of getting into a leadership role? If so, would an MBA be better than a Masters in PR/Comms?
