<p>is work experience more important or graduate study after the completion of undergraduate degree?</p>
<p>lets say, two applicants graduate from the same institution , one decided to pursue graduate degree and got enrolled into an ivy leavue institution and another decided to get emplyoed and started working for a company. </p>
<p>In terms of now applying to some renowned company after 3 yrs for a job, which of these two applicants might get more preference, one with no job experience but a masters from ivy league or another with no advanced degree but 3 yrs of working experience...</p>
<p>i have been hearing that employers want experience rather than degrees. So, is graduate degree unnceessary..... plz post your opinions..</p>
<p>which for these two would also have a high salary....</p>
<p>Depends on the major and expected job. Business majors typically work before grad school. Doctors and lawyers should continue school. Those headed into academic careers and math/science would probably want to keep going without working and losing knowledge. Teachers probably work if they can before getting additional courses during summers. You have to specify the field, some fields are bachelors degree entry level whereas others have a different degree level.</p>
<p>Really depends what you’re looking at.</p>
<p>What are your professional interests? Some careers require master’s level attainment for entry-level positions whereas others will hire you on the spot with just a bachelor’s degree.</p>
<p>in case of engineering like computer/ electrical engineering…is graduate school important or work experience…plz give your views</p>
<p>You need to be more specific. Graduate school is good for some cases, and not for others–if you think “Computer/Electrical Engineering” is some homogeneous field with only one type of preparation, you should probably take a deeper look into it.</p>
<p>I don’t think your question makes any sense. “It depends” is a good answer for you. My daughter is studying CS Theory and you have to have advanced degree for that. That is a research oriented degree and you are expected to be a researcher, which is not particularly expected for those with an undergrad degree.</p>
<p>A MS in any field in CS is valuable, if you want to speak generally. People succeed well with BS as well as MS in this area, but a MS should hopefully get you out of a grind job.</p>
<p>edit to say: sorry just noted you said EECS, but same opinion.</p>
