<p>I am graduating with a masters in international development/agriculture and would like to find a job in IR. Do you think it would be better to go on and get a PHD or get a law degree after my masters? Any thought would be greatly appreciated. It seems to be very competitive in this field.</p>
<p>does anyone know of any joint Politics or IR PHD/Law degree programs?</p>
<p>I don’t think a JD would help you in the least. A Ph.D wouldn’t hurt you, but I think the only real benefit of it is a way to wait out the job market a bit (unless you actually do want to teach/research).</p>
