Re:Ask HN: Is a Master's Degree in Bioinformatics a Foolish ... by mathattack on Thursday February 23, 2017 @02:34PM (#13716960)
I'm not in the field, but a few thoughts...

- If you can code, you don't need the degree.

- If you want professional respect in science, you need the Phd. If it's a quantitative Phd, it can be useful outside of bioinformatics.

- You're more likely to get sponsored for the Phd.
