Many engineers are opting to start their masters in an attempt to stay ahead in the post-2008 economy. With a master’s degree, students are able to gain a level of specialization or management overview that can make them invaluable in industry. However, finding the time and money to get on campus everyday can be difficult, especially if interferes with work.
