The M.S. Degree vs. Everything Else?
salad_fingers writes "It has been said that the Bachelor's Degree is the new High School Diploma: everybody has one. It is taking a greater investment of time, money and effort on behalf of the individual to give oneself that needed edge in the professional world. I have noticed that in technical fields, specifically engineering, employees are flocking in droves to MBA programs to capitalize on the upcoming retirement of the Baby Boomers, and have largely considered pursuing a graduate degree in a technical field as a waste of time and effort. What does Slashdot see as the future of the M.S. degree versus other available and somewhat non-traditional degrees? What path should engineers pursue for maximum future employability?"
It won't be so irrelevant when God brings his fiery judgment unto all the heathens that would declare evolution as fact and the WORD of the LORD to be mere "guidance" rather than ABSOLUTE FACT!!! When it comes, count Europe and much of our own America as goners. I'm moving to Kansas!
no child left behind is a joke. Poor schools have help kids cheat on tests to get more money.
college cost are out of control and the text books are just as bad. How debt do you want to be before you can get a good job?.
The entire system needs to guted and rebuild.
