Having done this already, I'll comment.... I did my masters 3 years ago (Microelectronics & Software Engineering), and really it's not done me any good except that my Mum was impressed... I got the job I've got now on the basis of me being able to program 68K assembler, (which I learnt before I went to Uni in the first place), and no-one I've spoken to in the industry has the slightest interest in whether someone has a masters or not. In the end I was glad I did it but only for the extra year of fantasy land while I studied it, and the letters after the name (MEng, for anyone interested). > Phil Craig Graham. MEng.
