Re:Was your degree really worth it? by gregvab on Thursday April 13, 2023 @01:36AM (#35551404)
I have a Masters in Computer Science and Engineering. Most jobs in my country requires either a Bachelors or a PhD so it is more of a stepping stone for a PhD which I have no interest in pursuing. My current job is the only one that requires my highest degree. My previous jobs all require a lower qualification. In fact, most of the things I learned in my 2 years of acquiring the degree are not that useful in all the jobs I've had so far. Was it worth it? Well, I got the degree from a prestigious institute and that seems to matter more to interviewers than the degree itself. Maybe the real degree is the friends we find along the way \s
