<p>They are if you plan on going into any sort of research. I work in a lab in a graduate/med school and my mentor (grad student) got a job at a chemical engineering company as a researcher with only a Bachelors degree, before he decided to go and get his Ph.D.</p>
<p>I'd argue that the most practical undergrad degree is probably a business or math degree. Everything else seems to be pretty limited for career choices in that specific field with just that degree sans a masters or Ph.D.</p>
<p>Sorry to be a downer, but besides engineering, a business or math degree will certainly get you a job, but not one of the better jobs. The age of entering the work force without a masters or doctorate is, quite frankly, coming to an end.</p>
<p>so i am a resident of, and attend a university in the U.S. i was thinking of applying to mcgill as a transfer because i am unhappy with my current uni. i will be applying for a junior position.
i wanted to ask: is this a good idea?</p>
<p>based on what i have read, it shouldn’t hurt my chances of getting into a U.S. med school…however i was also thinking about applying to U Toronto…i hear that its really hard to get to know profs there due to the volume of students and that they are known for “destroying” your gpa…is that true? would it also make a difference in terms getting into a U.S. medical school?</p>
<p>bump bump bump???</p>
