Will a master's degree in Computer Science make it a lot easier for me to find a job?

I am getting my bachelors in Computer Science. I'm worried about job stability. Would getting a masters degree in CS help me out significantly than simply having bachelors?





I want to see if its worth the time and effort to go that extra step. Or do you believe a lot of internship experience will help out more?

Unless you want to teach computer science at a community college, I don't see how a master's degree will help you get a job, over an internship. It use to be you didn't even need a degree to get into computers, then you needed an associate degree, now you need a bachelor's degree. All the job qualifications I see for computer jobs require a bachelor's degree, 2-3 years of experience, and certifications. I'd do an internship so you get some experience and try to get certifications for whatever you're interested in: networking and database certs are the hottest, though if you're into programming a java cert sure wouldn't hurt.

Good luck!
Reply:Well it all depends on the employer, it may or may not help. Some companies will say your over qualified, but then again it may be just what they are looking for. I would say go for it, if anything you can start your own business as a computer specialist.
Reply:Well, for starter's, either one will help you get a job. Internship will probably help you get a job faster, but the Master's Degree will get you a better job in the long run.
