yes, the terminal school matters. which is why people care about the quality of the undergrad school they go to. most people don't know whether or not they are going to pursue a masters. if they at least go to a decent undergrad school and they wind up not pursuing the masters they still have viable career options. beware premature optimization.
- jackowayed 18y agoyeah, though there are some times when you pretty much know you're going on. For example, if you definitely 100% want to be a psychiatrist, you can't do anything without at least a masters, preferably a PhD. But in most fields, there are good jobs that don't require masters degrees, and then premature optimization like this is bad.
