This is crazy! Is this notion prevalent everywhere in US? Shouldn't it be otherwise, like the student is hardworking and is persistent enough to get a Masters

Is this notion prevalent everywhere in US?
Shouldn't it be otherwise, like the student is hardworking and is persistent enough to get a Masters?
- SamReidHughes 8y agoThe way to determine this is by measuring actual performance. With more information, like why or how they got an MS, the probability distribution changes. My impression is, there's a set of dimwits from a dimwit part of the industry that decide they should get a Master's in order to better their career. As opposed to, say, getting one right after school because you didn't want to enter the real world, or because a 5-year MS seemed like a good idea, or being brainwashed in general about the value of formal schooling.
- godelmachine 8y agoYou sound right in so many ways. >> Getting right after school. Isn’t getting some real work exp before joining Masters a good thing? >> 5 year MS Never heard of such a thing. Is there one?
- SamReidHughes 8y agoA 5 year MS is where you get both a BS and MS in 5 years. So basically you graduate a year late.
- godelmachine 8y agoThanks. Isn’t getting some real work exp before joining Masters a good thing? Would like to hear your opinion on this, please.
- SamReidHughes 8y agoDon't ask me! I never got a Master's, and if I did get one, it wouldn't be in CS. In general I think work experience would inform your course selection or the decision to get an MS in the first place. That's pretty much the main way it would affect it.
