Contemplating a Masters while in undergrad
Hey Guys
I'm an undergrad student at a target school (rising junior). I have just realized that I can get a Masters in Computer Science, along with my Bachelor's in the same field in addition to my business degree, in the 4 years I'll be at school by taking a few (5 to be exact) more courses. It sounds like a lot but its just a benefit of the way stuff counts at my school.
I however have no interest in working as a computer science professional. I want to go into to private equity (after a M&A stint some place) as my career and am interning at a small PE firm right now. I enjoy computer science and have no problem studying it but I just don't want to work in the sphere.
So my question is, is it worth getting a masters in an unrelated field or should I just not bother and save my self the trouble and have fun in school. My GPA would drop I guess but I'd still graduate magna cum laude.
Does a masters help in anyway on the street?
Also, I don't not want to work as a quant or anything. So I'm just confused and thought I should post here. Any advise from those who know what they are talking about would be much appreciated.
Thanks
How are you able to obtain a Master's degree in CS by merely taking 5 courses? Sounds like something the University of Phoenix or Devry University would offer.
Its 5 + my BSE is Computer Science which I am doing already
If you do a lot of extracurricular [sport, activities, partying etc] and can handle the work load then it's definitely worth it given you're already doing a degree in it. If you don't then you'd want to develop your personality which will be far more important than the difference between BS and MS
