The choice is obvious is my opinion. Saving one year of your life (getting a masters in one year instead of two) is extremely valuable. If you think you will ever get a masters, take the opportunity to do it in one year. If you can get jobs at those companies now, you certainly can still get them with a masters degree.
The only reason not to get a masters degree now is if you would like to study at a different school.
- anonymous94 17y agoThat's a good way of thinking about it. I guess the issue is that I'm actually not sure I'd ever get a masters (if not now). So -- would I be closer to my goals foregoing a masters (for all time) and getting an extra year of work experience?
- jhancock 17y agoI doubt that getting a one year jump on work will be more valuable than spending the year and doing the masters. Look at it this way: What are the odds of your first startup being a big hit? If you think its incredibly high, then I'd say you are "high". Instead think about all the collateral and experience you will need to get through multiple startups before you hit a big one. The one year more in school should pay higher dividends than the one year jump in the work place.
