The counterintuitive side of engineering

Having a masters in civil engineering does not make one overqualified for entry-level positions. When I was looking for internships when I was in school, I spoke with some structural engineering firms and many would not hire someone for an entry-level position without a masters degree. This is becoming more and more common.

Interesting. Does the masters have a thesis requirement, or is it just a few extra classes?
