Master's Degree

[warriorprincess 0]

I do have my bachelors. No I don't have my masters. I been thinking about it. Wouldn't hurt to have it under my belt.

yes and no

I do and it's made a big difference. It's not a requirement in my field but it will open a lot of doors and will help me move up and can qualify me to teach at the university level.

Good to hear.

I think it'll make a big difference in my career as well. I will be paid more and I've been researching potential jobs and I'm excited about this.

No, I'm an RN with my BSN (don't really need a masters unless I wanted to teach or be a nurse specialist). Vipul is in his last year of graduate school though in computer emgineering. For him, yeah, it should be very beneficial as far as his profession goes.

Yes--but due to a chopf#ck immigration attorney filing me as Category 3 rather than Category 2, I had to endure an unreasonably long wait for my GC!

I plan to pursue it this fall..

I decided to go back to school in the spring and I'm really excited! This should bring me more opportunities and better paying jobs. I wondered if others could say that it did so for them.

I don't have my Masters. If I did, and wanted to work again, it would help my pay rate a lot in my field. But now I am not sure I'd even want a Masters in my field(Sociology). Maybe one day, but I don't know.

I don't have my Masters, but am going back this fall to start it in a completely different field. In order to work in my planned field you need a masters degree.

If I were to get a masters in the field I work in now I think it would almost be a hindrance. I know one or two people who went on to get their masters right after getting their bachelors degrees and can't find jobs b/c they're overqualified for the entry level positions they're applying for.

I don't have a Masters, but I do have a Bachelors. I used to work for a recruiting firm, and unfortunately what I have found is that alot (not all) of employers will use the requirement of a 4 year degree as a way of weeding through applicants.

Before I go back to work I am think about my M.B.A... Good luck to you anyway.

No, and don't plan on pursuing it...not even sure I'll stay in my career much longer.

Next year, if things work out as planned.

It would definitely boost my income but I'm more inclined to learning/specialization than thinking about the dough.

Though it doesn't make much difference in the company I am in, salary-wise.

I've known some people with the same problem. This gets me to careful thinking and planning, while I get experience in my field.
