If you foresee wanting a masters degree in the future, I suggest doing it young. The pressures that come “later” with work and family can make school very difficult. Imagine having a spouse, baby, job, house, etc. You live near your job so may or may not live near the college you want to attend. Can you attend online? Maybe, maybe not. Priorities change. Trust me, life happens. Just do it when you can. You don’t plan having a marriage and child, but it happens. Your employer pays for your degree, but you work 40-60 hours per week. Where is the time and energy? Trust me, for most people it isn’t there….that’s why they offer it…very few people actually use the benefit. Not that they don’t want to.

Hey Adriaan. I am in the fortunate position of having my company pay for me to get a technical masters, and I will also get my salary while being a full time student. So the option is basically going to school for a year or working for a year. The only downsides are that I will be under contract for 2 years after getting the degree, also I may just be wasting a year getting something I'll never use vesus getting actual experience. In the more managerial path I am thinking I'll go down in my career, it honestly wouldn't be necessary probably, and it's possible I'd even consider getting experience outside of engineering in the future to potentially own a business one day. I've worked for the company for 2 years already, and I like the company but not the location. I'm not sure I'd stay if it weren't for the masters opportunity. I feel crazy for even considering not getting it because its not just free, but paid. But I feel like it may just not be worth anything and im just spending another year of my life at school. Please let me know what you think of my situation and if I'd be foolish for not getting my technical masters in this case.

What about someone like me? I have a B.S. in Psychology and considering a MEM degree. Is it worth it?

@link2299 2 года назад

Hi. Looks like I missed this video for a bit. But I actually have a question for you. I'm a professional engineer withh 8 years experience. After this time I have realized what I want to do with my career, and frankly, I'm going in the right direction, and quickly. (Basically in the direction of energy efficieny buildings) But, I only have a bachelors. Almost all of my knowledge on the subject, is self taught during work experience. Long term. I want to make a difference in my field. I want to build a reputation and be known for what I do and how I have made an impact on at least the local market and direction of buildings. Do you believe it would be worth taking 2 years off work, to pursue a masters in some sort of systems/mechanical engineering? I don't quite have the answer. To me, financially, in even medium term, definitely not. Satisfaction, possibly not, I am already fast learning and growing very fast in my career, without a masters. However, I am afraid at some point I will hit a wall, that just having MSc. P.Eng. LEED AP. HBDP as a title would be more influential than just a lonely P.Eng. with dreams of the stars. For reference. I'm currently only 28 with 0 responsibility besides career development, and debt free. So would it be easy to take a masters, no, but, when I'm 40, will I wish I had?

@AdriaanVanNiekerk 2 года назад

Hi there! Thanks for the comment. You sort of answered your own question. :-) But I will still give you my opinion as a fellow engineer with about 10 years experience. I have worked both in South Africa and the UK and the only time a masters is really necessary is either if it is a requirement for professional registration OR a job requirement such as a research position. For you having a clear direction on where you want to go (and moving quickly in that direction) I would say keep going. I feel today (and this is not just isolated to the engineering field) experience and attitude have more value than qualifications. If you want to become more known in your field, I would say have a look at adding social entrepreneur or science communicator to your arsenal?

You can't realistically be a technical leader without a PhD. The level of technical knowledge between a BS and MS/PhD is enormous. Being a technical leader is not really about the money.
