I NEED A GRADUATE DEGREE.

Do I need a graduate degree in materials engineering?

• Do I need a graduate degree in materials engineering? I feel like one isn't needed to have great job opp. since I'll have 4 internships by the time i graduate. And most engineers never get their graduates and still make great money.

• Answer:

  The answer mostly depends on you, and where you want to live and what industries you want to get into. Somethings to think about though, most everywhere you go they're gonna pay you a little 3k to 5k more just for having a masters over a bachelors and that is for positions where both candidates qualify. To take full advantage of graduate school, you would need to find those positions where you need an MS just to get your foot in the door and those are usually very competetive so at the end of the day you're going to need not only an MS but a resume, a smile, a hand shake and a decorum that everyone loves. Do all that and you'll probably land a pretty prestigous opportunity. Good Luck!
