Hi guys!
I am wondering if any of you have any knowledge or anecdotes regarding the benefits of getting a graduate degree if one is thinking of doing Power Engineering (subset of EE for those of you who do not know). I am planning to go into the industry in the end.
Currently, I do not see any benefits of getting an advanced degree. Compared to fast changing fields such as semiconductor technologies, power systems has seen a much slower rate of development. Therefore, I feel that the research experience from a MS would not benefit me as much and will only serve for me to lose 2 years of salary.
Is there anything wrong with my reasoning? Are there actually jobs in the power sector that I will have a difficult time obtaining unless I had a MS?
