<p>Hi
My S is in his senior year majoring in EECS at MIT. He is trying to weight out options of accepting a job offer upon graduation or continue to the 5th year master program. Neither my wife or myself feel we have the background to provide him with advice or guidance..... we are looking for wisdom out there. Thank you very much.</p>
<p>I’m currently completing my MEng.</p>
<p>It really depends on which he’s more excited about. A master’s degree will probably get him a higher starting salary, but it will even out in the end. If he just wants to be a software engineer, he can probably get an interesting job with just his S.B. I didn’t get any job offers that I found compelling, so I stayed for an extra year.</p>
