Hi everyone,
I'm a sophomore at a West Coast semi-target, and I'm debating over whether or not to get a Masters in Finance. My school has a progressive degree program where I can take MS Finance coursework and graduate in an extra year, but I've enough completed units to actually get the MSF + BS Business in my 4 years of undergrad. However, the catch is that I'd have to stay in school over this upcoming summer and rule out any internships. Is it worth sacrificing a soph summer internship to begin my graduate coursework, or would it hurt my chances of securing a junior summer internship? Thanks for reading-- I'd appreciate a response.
I'd do an internship. Unless you are applying for jobs that require a Masters degree, I don't think it is the best use of your time. You'd also be losing money as opposed to making money.
Do an internship. Masters are only useful if you're out of options and need re-branding (assuming you complete your MSc at a target program) & a second chance at recruiting. You're still a sophomore, plenty of time to secure a SA position or a FT position if you're out of luck junior year.
Do the internship. You're a sophomore, don't think about graduate school yet.
