Any regrets? What experiences and/or course work might have better prepared you for this work?
I took some courses in public-sector IT work in graduate school. No regrets though; those courses weren't offered when I was in undergraduate school.
Have you attended graduate school or are you considering graduate school? What degree do you have/would you want and why? Are there any limitations to advancement in your field if you do not have a certain graduate degree?
MPA (with a concentration in Public Sector Technology). Different jobs and paths require different further education. A more technical job might want MCSE certificate.
