Sure you'll learn some more advanced shit, but if you can find a job in your field right after your bachelor you'll have a 1 to 2 year experience head start over people who go on to pursue a master's degree
Isn't a masters degree the graduate degree meant to be used in industry? What memes are you talking about?
That said, don't start a masters degree without at least having worked a couple of years. Masters degree of any flavor are meant as a guaranteed way of climbing up the ladder.
Example: You work a couple of years, get in touch with the higherups in your company. Then you get, for example, an MBA and after you get it you are immediately promoted to a senior position in your same field.
Don't tell you just graduated and then went for the masters? Who are you going to use it with?

>tfw doing a masters because my resume wasn't strong enough for good phd programs
Asher Robinson
In my country doing a master's degree is pretty much obligatory. Nobody gives a shit about bachelor's.
Jayden Perez
>I might have.
Why?
If you go for a grad degree then you are supposed to have someone to impress. Someone who immediately goes to grad school is someone who probably wants to impress their own university and is looking for an academic career researching.
If you plan for industry you can still land a job but you are supposed to get a job first and then see when your company likes you enough to suggest to you the idea of being a senior member of their staff.

>engineering don't go over masters, bachelor's is ok >chemistry at least masters or you'll be doing the chemistry equivalent of janitorial work
this is all I have experience with
Cooper Thomas
for biology, master's degrees are actually better for getting hired than phd's
Austin Gomez
Bit the same here. A standard engineering degree here is call a civil engeenering degree in 'field', which is allways five years, ie masters. An ingeneer with a three or four year education, ie bachelors, is called a college ingeneer or somthing

Would a CompSci student go for a master's or more? Specializing in Information Assurance.
Joseph Turner
>CompSci go for an indian passport instead
Parker Johnson
Explain.
Easton Baker
Not him but /g/ memes about Indians getting the jobs in the USA with shit service and shittier programming skills
David Bennett
I see. I knew H1B Visas were a threat to tech jobs for Americans, but is it really that prevalent? What if you're simply better than the Pajeets?
Ethan Jones
I'm pretty sure it is
You can't, because not only the Pajeets but anyone will work really hard for a shit pay as long as you can live in the US It gives a real disadvantage to study Comp Sci in USA, especially if you are an American
The only way to get a job if you are American with CS interests is being a EE+CS minor, full CE or being a Mathematican

Suddenly I doubt my decisions.
Ian Hill
Ok, you COULD get a job but you would need to do your best on programming
Or you could get a masters but you will work on research, not on muh programming jobs anyone could do, even NEETs.
Andrew Hall
So the safest course is to go for a Master's right off the bat?
Gavin Hall
Pretty much
I really don't know what you wanna do, so specialize on that so you become the best out there to get a good job
