  1. Re:Three Letters: on Best Degree to Pair w/ a B.Sc. in Computer Science? · · Score: 1

    Unless you have a masters in bovine excrementology, a masters is good because you can understand why things are the way they are, plus also communicate at a strategic level (where the money is). A vendor cert is just as good as a masters, providing you have experience, if no experience, then a masters and a vendor cert are benficial. I currently work in China (I am from New Zealand) as a consultant to the IT manager, and earn $85,000 US per year (very nice). However, should you do a masters, then nothing stops you doing a doctorate (involves coming up with something new - usually taking two frameworks/ideas and joining them into one and putting your name on it). While doing a Masters or a Doctorate, you will meet industry leaders, who often steal students to can think. If you complete a doctorate, you can join the conference circuit and retire early, or just do two per year. Anyway, enough of my inane dribble, I have a research methods assignment to complete. Later.
