Originally I went to University 3 years ago to study MPhys Theoretical Physics. After completing my second year, however I was forced to leave and come home (family reason, I wont bore you with the details here).
Anyway, since moving back, aswell as working I've transfered the credit I had to a BSc in Mathematics with the Open University and so am therefore not too far away from completing it.
My question is this; is it worth me adding an extra two years on top of the studies to go for the MSc or not?
In all honesty, I can't really see myself in a career in Mathematics, and if I'm being really honest the main reason I want to go for MSc is to finish what I started on the MPhys course.
It begs the question, will having a MSc over a BSc really help me obtain a better career (of which, I'm not sure what it will be yet), or am I wasting my time?
Incidentally, although I do enjoy my degree, I don't enjoy it enough to do another two years "just for the academic acheivement" of it.
