<p>How common is it for chemical engineering students to stop their education after receiving their undergraduate degree? Is it important to pursue a master's degree in this field of engineering? Thanks.</p>
<p>yeah, i've been wondering about that too. does a master's degree serve to increase employability or does will it genuinely confer new skills? or both?</p>
<p>I know of a few people who are graduating this semester and will be going directly to industry, so it's too difficult to get a job. On the other hand, I also know of a few who are going to grad school, though I have a feeling those people are doing it because they like academia more than it being beneficial for employment.</p>
<p>A master's in engineering isn't going to greatly increase your prospects of employment. A bachelor's is enough to get a well-paying job in industry. For research, however, you need to get a doctorate.</p>
<p>dude!! a bachelors in ChemE will get u $60,000 bucks on ur first job,not including bonuses.For working purposes,get a masters.For research and academia,shoot for PhD.</p>
