    I'm in a data science masters program right now. My reason is simple. I work as a data analyst for a major corporation and the only way I can move to a data scientist position is by getting a master's degree and data science or analytics or computer science. I meet all of the other qualifications. My company's paying for the whole thing and I'll be finished by the end of the year.

    It also depends on what your undergraduate degree was in. If you have an undergraduate degree in computer science or statistics then it probably makes no sense for you to get a master's degree in data science. That undergraduate degree will oftentimes be enough to get the entry level Junior data scientist position. My undergraduate degree is in political science so I had to go the Masters route.

    Got a CIS undergrad and became a data analyst. I have been regretting my choice of undergrad and didn't like the job. And recently got an NLP data science job with a pretty decent pay bump right after I earn my part-time DS master's. I remember the interviewer made sure I finished my master's, so for me is worth the 30k.
    I understand the over-saturated situation, so I am trying to earn a TF certification and other skills like Scala, web dev/scrap, tableau, etc. Going through my master's got me into the habit of learning every night, so doing the master's could be one of my best choices.

However, I was very fortunate to get a full scholarship and assistantship to my current master's program now. I can honestly say I am only getting my master's because I made a career switch and got a hell of an opportunity. I am currently an intern at a manufacturing company. I love how you talk about salary expectations as well. I was very shocked by the salary ppl are making but I understand from an entry-level perspective and DS being fairly new at this company.

    Hi Jay,
    I got a bachelor in Business in my country and currently I'm working on my AS degree in computer science in the US. Apparently I can either transfer to a 4-year uni to get a BS degree in Data Science or I just can go for a MS degree because I've already got a bachelor. Some people said that if I don't have a bachelor here in the US, it's hard to get a job. They said the bachelor degree in my country is not valid here so I shouldn't do master without bachelor in the US. Well, I don't buy it. And I'm aware that just a degree cannot secure me a job, just like you said. But I think a MS gives us more opportunities to do research and project than the BS. What's your thoughts on this? Please advise! Thanks in advance!
