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?"

    Educational requirements for visas are just veiled racism. It's a way for the powerful and priviliged to maintain their standing: "Oh, we didn't reject him because he was Muslim, we rejected him because he didn't have an advanced degree" is exactly the kind of excuse that relieves everyone of responsibility, and yet does nothing to fix the problem.
