that ' s like saying Santa ' s not real . <| sep |> haha . yeah that might be true ! <| sep |> ndg studio , other , summit <| sep |> Most I ' ve heard about a higher level education for engineering is , if you intend to go into the industry , a Masters or PhD of engineering is a bit much , it gives the impression you are better at academia than you are working in an industry environment . Again , this is only based on the few people I know who have personal experience in the field . This is fairly accurate . I ' m an undergrad in engineering but have a lot of friends who are older and have been in the workforce in their various fields for a while . A master ' s in engineering is still a good thing for the most part , but some employers may view you as too highly educated . I know a guy who has his BS and MS in ChemE and is waiting tables because he couldn ' t find a job . If you get a PhD , some places may hire you , but it will not be for an average engineering job . You ' ll be doing something that ' s specific to your area of research from your PhD , and that isn ' t necessary for a lot of engineering jobs . Hence why employers will hire someone who has a bachelor ' s and an internship for the normal engineering position .
