Go For a Masters, Or Not?

Posted by kdawson on from the short-term-long-term dept.

mx12 writes "I'm currently an undergrad in computer engineering and have been thinking about getting my masters. I have a year left in school. Most of my professors seem to think that getting a masters is a great idea, but I wanted to hear from people out in the working world. Is a masters in computer engineering better than two years of experience at a company?"

    So, hedonism is the only reason to get a higher education? Because it makes you feel good? There is something horribly wrong with that idea.

    Lead devs: Master + Experience (not necessarily work experience, doing personal projects or contributing to OS also works).

    Monkeys: Work Experience.

    Do you want to be a monkey or a leader?
