How useful is master's in chemical engineering?

<p>I have couple of questions,</p>

<p>1) I heard that there aren't many jobs that MS ChE can do but BS can't does that mean it's hard to get a job or at least you can't expect a good pay if you take a job that can be done by BS ChE?</p>

<p>2) Is non-thesis Master's in ChE worth it? What kind of job will it get you? I'm planning to pursue it after B.S in chemistry (not chem.E)</p>

<p>3) If you graduate with B.S in chem, and get into master's in chem.E, do they let you take all the undergrad classes that you missed? Let's say if you took Differential equation in the undergrad, does it mean you don't have to take it at the grad school?</p>

<p>Sorry for being too verbose.</p>

<p>… bump .,</p>

<p>1) There aren’t many jobs that a MS ChemE can do that a BS can’t however, the BS jobs that require 2-5 years experience will generally interview or accept MS with 0 years of experience. Pay will be structured accordingly based on education and experience. Your starting compensation will thus be comparable to a BS +2-5 years experience. Note, however, that having a masters is seen more as “management material” in the eyes of the corporate world, you will therefor have a great shot at quicker advancement than where to just have a BS.</p>

<p>2) If you want to do it do it. Can’t say what job you will get, but it will open more doors than you would have with just a BS.</p>

<p>3) Yes, you will have to take classes that you have not shown proficiency in. Master’s courses requirement will vary and how exactly you makeup for your shortcoming will also vary.</p>
