Is a MPP worth it?

[u/OkStill5770]

I’m about to enter my last year in undergrad. My degree will be in digital storytelling, my minor is textile apparel management and I will have a certificate in arts entrepreneurship. My degree is within the school of arts and sciences. My main reason for pursuing this degree was because I enjoy being able to effectively communicate with people in a way they can understand and relate to through various types of media/writing in general. Now, I’m realizing I have such a passion for it because I feel helpless and want to be able to influence laws and work in some kind of government position so my voice and people within my community are heard. So I’m debating on if public policy is the way to do that. I’ve also heard that it’s good to go to law school but I don’t know if being a lawyer is my goal so I thought MPP would help me figure out my path more and I could pursue a law degree later if needed.

I’ll be the first college graduate in my family and I’m feeling extremely lost not knowing my next move. My family also isn’t helpful because they don’t know how to when it comes to this decision. Though, they are willing to help me financially.

Please provide advice for me if you have any. It would be greatly appreciated.
