<p>Thank you both, your answers were extremely helpful.</p>
<p>yg7s7 - You bring up a very good point. I guess I should consider a non-thesis-based MS or M.Eng, as I’m not sure I want to pursue a Ph.D. In that case, I suppose it wouldn’t matter so much.</p>
<p>cosmicfish - I like your advice. I’ll chat up the professors around here and see if they could use me in the lab. I heard that they like you to have independent funding (from a scholarship, etc.), but I don’t need any sort of stipend, so perhaps they’ll make an exception.</p>
