What can I do with a Masters Degree in Environmental Science/Studies?

Masters degree vs Bachelors degree in Marketing. Worth it to get a Masters?

• Right now I am only a sophomore in College, but I am the type of person that does a lot of research before I make a decision on anything and I am wondering what everyone thinks about a masters degree in marketing. I am working towards my bachelors degree in marketing as we speak, but I want to know the benefits of a Masters in Marketing compared to a Bachelors. I will be attending DePaul university, downtown Chicago to get these degrees. The school I am currently attending I am holding a 3.0-3.2 GPA. I don't know my for sure grades in my classes this is an estimate... It could be higher. I just want to know everyones opinion on how much difference it will make whether I have a Bachelors or a Masters. The reason I want to go further is I wish to continue my learning and hopefully offer potential employers with the degree that I do have. Also it is mandatory through DePaul that I get an internship junior year which I planned on doing anyways, so I will have experience through this field. I also have plans to do an internship senior year as well. I will be majoring in Marketing and minoring in Psychology Depaul also has one of the top business schools downtown. Thank you.

• Answer:

  You dont necessarily need a masters right away. Besides, that level is mostly geared towards the mid level or higher corporate managers that want to take their skills to the next level. You can continue later on, very much down the road. I think the bachelors would be good enough to help you get started and you can "ride it" for at least several years. Typically, the higher level business fields (senior executives, directors, senior managers) would benefit more from a masters degree. Internship is an experience, but its not enough for the grad schools. They want more (at least a couple years) Just focus on completing your bachelors with good grades and working. Don't worry about a masters degree because that starts way into the future. You might not even need it, as not all positions want it.
