Masters Not a Good Idea

[amilitab4k9]

My sister is a recruiter and she would agree with what you're saying about MBAs. She says employers see that and figure you'll expect more money, which makes them less inclined to even interview you. She would recommend leaving it off the resume unless a specific requirement.

For other degrees, like engineering, it would depend on the company/career. I know at Intel they don't hire people with Masters. They want only a Bachelors or a PhD. My husband was interested in working there, but because he was working on his Masters at the time, they told him it was basically pointless to even apply. In his current position, he hires engineers and wouldn't see anything wrong with someone having their Masters even without experience.
