No, it usually does not, for new domestic bachelor’s degree graduates looking for typical entry-level engineering jobs. Obviously, high level research type jobs would benefit from having a PhD, but most engineering bachelor’s degree graduates go directly to employment. Some do eventually go back for graduate degrees, but they often do it on employer funding for master’s degrees, or funding from the school for PhD study.
@ucbalumnus So you recommend I do seek out a PhD? And in what field does one most directly benefit aspiring engineers?
My mistake. 
My family has strong (and sometimes wrong, apparently) opinions on eng. OP, don’t listen to me, there are others here much wiser.
@whitespace No, thank you. In fact, I realized that I probably should get a master’s degree for engineering, and perhaps an MBA for business as well, granted I can afford it.
Since when?
Engineering has to be the most employable and high-earning degree with a bachelors degree.
If u want an MBA, then go for it AFTER some work experience. But a graduate degree in engineering is not necessary unless u want to pursue a career in academia or research.
As ucbalumnus and GMT say, you do not need a graduate degree in engineering. Good luck at Buffalo. It will be fine.
Are you often obsessive over things? If this were a girl, you asked her out and she said no, would you perseverate over her and think your romantic life was never to be, or would you realize there are plenty of fish in the sea?
Your obsession with Stanford is beyond healthy. It’s just a school. That’s all. It doesn’t guarantee a perfect life, it rains there, and people there put their pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else. It does not have chocolate flowing from the fountains and the day in the life of a college student there looks pretty much like a student anywhere - get up, eat, go to class, study, do something with friends, repeat.
The people who are saying “you can always go to grad school there” do him no favors. It just kicks the can of fetishizing the school down the road.
Britishisms in post suggest this entire story is a ruse.
I don’t see Britishisms at all. I just see overly formal and loquacious.
From the first few lines of the OP: “I myself got rejected into freshman admissions”. Grammar police!!
. Isn’t the expression “be all, end all”, not the other way around?
OP has a speech disorder, so it may very well have been necessary to choose a nonpublic school.
As the parent of a dyslexic, I know from experience that common phrases do get twisted. I say things like, “that book costs $10 to 15” while my daughter used to say “$15 to 10.” You jump “up and down;” my daughter used to say she jumped “down and up.” I had to teach her sayings that we just pick up along the way. It’s just the way their brains work.
@ucbalumnus, If OP is in NYS, is top 10% of his class, and a STEM major, he’s eligible for the NYS STEM grant which I believe covers tuition to a SUNY. @sybbie719 will know for sure. If OP can commute, he could probably cover the rest of the costs with the federal student loan or even summer work earnings and a small loan.
The OP said he had verbal apraxia. That is an oromotor output issue, not a writing issue. The output of sounds is different than written expression, so should not affect grammar or syntax as would more likely be the case with your dyslexic.
And the HS he said he attended was because of a family legacy, not because of a language issue.
Early on he says verbal apraxia.
I found it and edited my post. Verbal apraxia is a problem with the output of sounds (a speech/sound issue). It is different than a disorder of written expression, though in some cases it could in some cases influence some sequencing issues (if memory serves me correctly). But it would, IIRC, be less likely explain redundancies in speech (e.g. “I myself”) or grammatical errors.
Not necessary to go for a PhD unless you want to go into basic research or university faculty jobs – most entry level engineering jobs just need a bachelor’s degree in the appropriate kind of engineering. Even then, you do not have to go on to PhD study immediately if you are not sure of that path at bachelor’s degree graduation – you can go to work for a while (and pay off any debt) to see what you like first.
Re Britishisms, it was the use of “maths” that led me to suspect this student is either not in the US or not as presented.
OP, if this thread is for real, it’s no wonder you were denied admission to Stanford. I don’t mean to be harsh, but kids who obsess over schools like Stanford, Ivies, etc., are pretty much, by definition, not the types of kids these elite schools want.
Sorry, but is this for real? Zig is a football player who writes like a foreigner who has been taught perfect, too perfect English. He has a dysfunctional family, went to private high school, but the folks won’t help pay for college, offered a scholarship in which college will cost him $1000 a year, yet his life is in tatters because he got accepted to a bunch of incredible schools he couldn’t afford, but not Stanford, which he couldn’t afford anyway.I am thinking OP is trying to write a screen play. If OP isn’t writing a screenplay, then I wish him all the best of luck.
Someone above noted the Britishisms. I am noting something too, I reckon it’s called BS. No one who speaks English as a first language starts a post with Salutations, unless they are messing around. The beloved letter? BS. Come on @ZigaloZiggyZig , time to fess up. If you don’t respond correctly to that, we will know you are wasting our time. Football player who says Salutations? Alrighty then…
