What was you bachalors degree and what did you go to grad school for

Caleb.Etrue, iv found that if your Masters is getting paid for, your most likely working through the time while your taking classes, which is nice its getting paid for but usually takes double to triple the amount of time.Which is insane!

My boyfriend is getting a paid research based masters while taking classes and working as a TA. I'm amazed he hasn't exploded or killed someone.

Bachelor's in Civil Engineering. I didn't feel that getting a Master's degree right after my bachelor's would be advantageous. No one seems to have trouble finding a job in Civil Engineering with just a bachelor's degree (including me). You still will have to start at the bottom whether you have an MS or not, 4 years of work experience are needed to get your PE, until then you're basically just a engineering technician with a higher level of education. Plus I would have had to go to school on my own dime, whereas most engineering companies will reimburse your tuition if you're working for them. I was also pretty burned out on school by the time I finished my undergrad, so I didn't really want keep going.

Overall I'm glad I didn't go right away. I'm thinking I'd probably rather go back to school to become a registered land surveyor than get my MS anyways.
