Master of Science

This topic was created in the Miscellaneous forum by Nala13 on Thursday, August 7, 2014 and has 10 replies.
Does anyone here have one?
If yes, in what concentration/major?
I received my graduate school acceptance letter today and I keep staring at it. I hope I am making the correct decision.
Anyway, I was accepted on a conditional basis since my undergrad GPA was 2.88.

Hi Ladies and thanks for responding.
Congrats on the baby Chem.
Yes Aurora it means I have to get better grades than the average because my grades from my first degree were not that strong.
I hear about so many people with degrees who are unemployed. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree that did not yield the results I had hoped. This is why I decided to get a Science degree.

well science is a good choice cause there is no such thing as an unemployed scientist anywhere in the world. also this will maybe sound ridiculous, but science is much closer to the art than people think. good imagination, gut feelings are absolutely necessary in research. and hard work of course.
the usual problem is math and it is usually one of the first courses on every science studies. the things that are absolutely necessary for math are 3p: patience, practice, and to be persistent. and at one point it becomes natural and math becomes something fun to do.
don't miss any lectures, and ask absolutely everything that you don't understand. you will see that brain isn't always in the mood. so sometimes you will understand most of the things, sometimes nothing at all. every professor knows this, so there is no such thing as asking stupid questions.
everything you do, read again after the lectures. not immediately after, but when you go home, do some stuff around to relax and just look at what you've done that day. you will be amazed how much it will stay in your head this way.
and what is good, these days you have everything online. lectures from different professors, around the world, and it makes things easer cause you native language is english i assume.

thanks Nala smile,
you are doing the right thing by expanding your education. a masters will really open employment doors for you. take the recommendations that aurora suggested, I couldn't have said it any better. make sure the concentration in science is something that you have a vast interest.

It seems as if the Masters are what help a bit more in the job market in some instances.
But as far as Bachelors and jobs right now? Total shit. I've had the same experience.
I want to get into a Masters for physician's assistant, but have had to put grad school on hold to care for my mom.
The job market is just shit for everyone, unless you're willing to relocate. On top of that, so many jobs that used to require the Bachelors now see that along the lines of what an AA was and expect at least a Masters for everything. My advisors warned me about this when I started my upper div. classes, so my goal was always grad school. It's needed for certification anyway.
Your best bet is to make sure that what you want to do absolutely requires this degree and make sure the demand for your ideal job is there.

I have an MS and PhD in chem. eng. Personally, I think one is more marketable with a MS simply because a PhD can get you "type cast" due to the specialization that comes from the thesis work.
