Masters Degree?

Question

I have a Bachelors of science and it seems like my degree is taking me nowhere. I am wondering what people generally think about the following question:

Is a Masters degree more likely to land a person a job if they get a Masters?

My degree is in aerospace

Answer 1

It might, but not necessarily. I used to know someone who was working on her master's degree years ago, but has never completed her thesis last I heard. At the time, she already had a job, and her lack of a masters' degree didn't stop her from moving up to an administrative position.

Answer 2

When you go back to school for a masters degree, you take more advanced classes in your field of study. It lets you enhances your knowledge and skills in that particular area. Having a masters degree isn't necessary, but it's good to have if you're wanting to get a job somewhere where there are only a few open spots. Usually, businesses and corporations will hire the people with the best training. Hope my answer helps.

Answer 3

A Masters is just another piece of paper. Any job will require skills and the correct attitude. Colleges will prepare you and set you up to suceed, but it is ultimatly up to your inititive. Also, there are more job openings in certain fields for Masters+. Nursing for example, has a huge shortage for MSNs. Other degrees, like a MFA might still be difficult to find jobs. The biggest thing to remember though is that a degree is a paper saying that the college sufficently prepared you, NOT a ticket or entitlement to a job.

Answer 4

I suppose it depends on the industry, but I'm pretty sure that in most industries a Masters degree is well-respected. Though, it also depends on how much work experience you have. In the business world, someone with a Masters degree but no experience is considered to be a professional student and may have to accept a lower position than someone with more experience.

Answer 5

I think a Masters Degree ni a well established field of study is a goo d thing. A Masters in Political Science or Human development and family life will probably not get you anywhere.
Get your financial aid package together and go.

Answer 6

Depends on the type of Masters degree... if you have one in social work, you'll still find it hard to get a job. But if you have one in computer science or programming or engineering, you'll see the doors open wide. I recommend checking out what careers interest you the most but also offer opportunities for growth in the number of positions available.

Answer 7

If it goes with the expected skills, capability and competence fit for the profession, YES. Otherwise, you may have more degrees than a thermometer yet it will get you nowhere. After all, nominals are not always functional and an educational degree is primarily of nominal value. The problem is we live in "paper-oriented" societies.

Answer 8

if you are in science, it is rather necessary that you have at least a master's degree. But it also has a lot to do with the field you are in and most importantly, whatever degree you get, you have to be really good at what you do

Answer 9

Have you looked into getting a teaching certificate? You will need to take some ed. courses to qualify, and eventually will need a master's there,too, but the schools really need science teachers.

Answer 10

Worked for me, but then again I'm a social worker and due to billing issues, most places prefer a Masters.
