[quote=Anonymous]Because the commonly used immigrant visas (pronounced ach one bee) require at least an MS in STEM field, there is increasing career pressure (outside the realm of PEs) to have an MS in Engineering, in Physics, or in CS.  The immigrant engineers will nearly always have those advanced degrees in engineering.

There are plenty of entry-level jobs with a BS, but those without some MS (or MBA) are more likely to it a glass ceiling down the road.

Many local DMV employers, and also SV Tech employers, will reimburse employees who are getting an advanced degree in their field and will give flex time to those doing so.  Federal civil service is particularly good about this. Recent grads would be wise to pursue those MS degree options - or go straight through and do an MS right after undergrad.

Note: Employers will be happy with a project-based Masters degree, so it does not need to be a masters degree with a formal thesis (at least from a job / employer viewpoint).
