Currently our son has been working in one of those govt contract companies, dealing with planes, etc He is still new with close to two years experience on his belt. The company is sending him to further his education by doing dual degree: MS Mech Eng and MS Engineering Management (Viterbi-USC).

I am just curious if this so called two degrees will improve or take his career to another level and in the long run hopefully will benefit him at all? he is only 19 (I know his is too young as finishing his HS around the age 16/17) and he will start this coming fall 2017 by doing PT basis, perhaps will take him about 3 or 4 yrs of education; one or two classes per semester.

In addition, I am wondering if these two degrees master level are doable and will be tough on him while he is working FT? any infomation is apprciated. gracias, thanks so much.
