Many companies in the US will pay full or partial tuition for a graduate degree. If you have the time outside of work to take some classes then this option can make a lot of sense. I was able to get an employer to pay for about %70 percent of my degree. The degree immediately led to an internal promotion with a raise which more than covered the cost tuition that I paid out of pocket.
Why does getting a higher degree lead to a promotion? A lot of times I don't understand how companies work. I imagine if I were the owner, I'd not promote an employee just because he just got a higher degree.
As an automotive engineering student whose school does not offer manufacturing processes for his/her major ,is it better to take an internship in a FabLab to get involved in manufacturing and what should he/she learn to be good at manufacturing? And is it beneficial to take a master's degree in manufacturing?
there's no fucking way im ever going to uni again! at the end of the day, you do you. but for me, the extra bit of salary you earn with a masters isnt worth the tuition fee, time and the hassle of working on useless shit.
Very informative video and relevant to my current situation as I am currently in the process of trying to make this decision. I graduated mechanical engineering 9 months and I am still on the hunt for something (I live in Canada). I did receive an offer shortly after I graduated to work as a cost estimation engineer for a large aerospace company which I naively declined. I did so because I wanted to work in an analytical role related to thermo-fluids, numerical analysis, simulations, CFD, FEA, etc. I am currently registered to start a master's of aerospace engineering which will begin in 3 months now. The program involves coursework, an internship, and a major project/research with an industry partner. I am also in process of interviewing for jobs and I very well might receive an offer before I start my program so I'm not sure what to do. I don't want to get stuck doing a role such as a process planner or cost estimator and then have no relevant experience in analytical work leaving me unable to switch. At the same time its an opportunity to network and make money. Thankfully I have financial security as I worked for many years in the restaurant business (started engineering at 27) so that's not an issue for me. The bigger issue is that I would like to get on with other aspects of life however I have to stay composed and consider the long term. A Master's could be better in the long run leading to higher job satisfaction and potentially more pay. Decisions decisions...
How did you get into that Chinese school with free tuition, stipendium and free housing? Did you graduate from the last school with a cum laude which provided you with these privileges?
