Is it possible that pretty much any specialization, outside of the most common ones, engages in a lot of gatekeeping? I remember how difficult it appeared to be after I graduated to break into embedded systems (I never did). I persisted until I realized it doesn't even pay very well, comparatively.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoYes, but to varying degrees. I imagine the whole "fortune 500" deal probably gatekept more than it really needed to. While I don't think any specialization NEEDS a masters since 2-3 years of industry work in that field will do just as much 90% of the tie (a few may need PhD's, mostly for R&D labs), some can justify it more than others. It's also cultural. From what I hear, the east cost US cares a lot more about prestige than the west coast that focuses a lot more on performance.
