How much would writing a thesis help for a person's career in industry(not in academia)? There are many people who pursue a thesis-based master's degree but do not want to pursue academia after graduation. If people just want to have a good job, is thesis writing helpful to them? My major is electrical engineering.
I can think of two reasons you might want to write a thesis.


If you would inherently enjoy the challenge.
If digging in and writing up specialized knowledge in a particular topic might be related to your future work on the job.


Either of these would be a good reason -- you don't need both.
