Should I do a masters in civil engineering please help

Should I do a masters in civil engineering please help

Should I do a masters in civil engineering please help

(OP)
Ok so my job right now can be titled " gas engineering" my tasks consist of pipe design and project coordination. My company is offering tuition reimbursement so I would like to take advantage of this, however I'm not sure if a masters in civil will help me advance in my job. I plan on staying with this company for as long as I can. Should I still get the masters?

RE: Should I do a masters in civil engineering please help

A masters can only help your situation. I have also had discussion with some senior engineers/partners who say, from a company resume standpoint, having senior engineers/partners without a masters degree can raise some questions from potential clients about the firms qualifications.

Or a Masters in Business??

RE: Should I do a masters in civil engineering please help

Do it while you're young. As the other posters have pointed out, it can only help your situation. I can tell you from experience it's pretty hard to study when you have a young children in the house and spouses have limited patience for long nights in the library.

RE: Should I do a masters in civil engineering please help

I agree you have to do it while you're young, but unless you plan on having kids before 30, you have time. Based on the number of threads you've posted on this subject (I think about 4), I'm starting to think you shouldn't get the master of science degree because you dont seem to know what you want. I would probably let things stew for a little while and learn about the industry before jumping into it. I mean, would your time be better spent getting an MBA or JD degree if you end up not wanting to stay within the engineering field?
