Hey guys,
This is quite a strange question (but by christ not nearly as strange as some i've seen asked on this forum ) - I was wondering whether anyone knows how well 'weighted' (for lack of a better term) a Masters degree is. I'm considering doing a 1 year taught Masters at Uni in Business Management (don't get this mixed up with an MBA) which will give me an MSc after my BA (graduated from Uni this year). My main issue is that it's going to cost me 7 grand for the tuition fees + living expenses etc etc so it's not a decision i'm taking lightly.
Is there anyone here who deals with recruitment who could tell me whether someone with a Masters after their standard degree would really have an edge? I'm not entirely sure where i see myself in 5 years time, i've no idea which field of work would suit me so as of this moment i'm planning on trying to get in to one of the big consultancy firms (PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young, Mckinsey & Co, KPMG etc) to see if the business sector suits me. I've toyed with the idea of signing on to some recruitment agencies in a city to move around a few different sectors to see what I like doing but i've decided against that as it's too much risk involved.
Sorry i've rambled on a bit but any advice would be greatly welcomed.
