Really!!!?!?!?!? I am interested in education reform as well. Awesome!
I'm with you gals! I work in education now.... BusyBee, I'm conflicted for you. Part of me wants to tell you to go with your heart, the other part of me realizes you're not in for the potential salaries of some of our consulting/banking/marketing colleagues and maybe a great deal of debt isn't the best idea. But, I do believe that wherever you end up, you will be in good shape if you are proactive and diligent, and I suspect you will be.

Education Reform/Community development here. You should also look into some dual degree programs (MPP/MPA). Also I know some schools have loan forgiveness if you go into the public/non-profit sector.
