<p>Well grad students are older and tend to be more mature than undergrads (esp 1st and 2nd year). There partying generally consist of socialize and networking, compared to the bingefest parties that usually the make those type of parties. </p>

<p>However, these are wide generalizations, so obviously there are exceptions.</p>

<p>no because the interest rates on their student loans are higher :(</p>

<p>Get a PhD. They’ll pay for everything. Highly considered it.</p>

<p>Professional and masters degrees put you in debt.</p>

<p>these days, is it worth getting a masters in engineering</p>

<p>gthopeful, will have more experience with this, but I think its will give you an edge when applying for a job. There are also “practice” masters programs where you get industry experience. There are also PhD’s that go into industry, but that number is usually fewer. The ones I know, didn’t want to deal with the stress of academia.</p>

<p>Its definitely worth getting a master’s in engineering. It will give you an advantage during interviews and depending on where you work, you’ll start off with a higher pay grade. But that is about it really. Once you are hired and working, it will be up to you to perform. If an undergrad out performs you, then they will more than likely get promoted over you. </p>

<p>Bottom line: the degree will only give you more experience, better interviews, and higher starting pay. After that, it’s all about your performance and applying the knowledge you gained from school.</p>

<p>I know some co-workers that started working after undergrad and got their employer to pay for their part-time master’s degree while working full-time. This option will save you lots of money but will require lots of discipline on your end.</p>

<p>Depends on the program. </p>

<p>PhD/Medicine/Law/Dentistry/VetMed/Engineering/etc. require a lot of work, but some programs like the M.S. in Management are essentially just a 5th year of undergrad.</p>
