- JonathonW 12y agoReason #763 why it's a good idea to make sure you do whatever paperwork's required for a Master's in Passing along the way to your PhD, if it's an option in your program. Sadly, it's not something that happens by default at all (maybe even most?) institutions... even if you intend for your terminal degree to be a PhD, the MSc is nice to have around in case something goes wrong. You'll still have a gap in your resume, but the ~two-year gap is likely to look better on paper than a four-year (or more) gap between Bachelor's and now.
