Hi all of you, My name is Jim and i am currently in the 5th year of a 5 year Bachelor Degree in Electrical Engineering. Here in Greece, we have to pass 60 courses and finish and deliver our dissertation thesis. I am currently having a 8/10 Gpa and i belive i can publish part of my thesis in a conference or in a journal. Also my gpa corresponds to the 5% of the class. During my bachelor years i haven't been involded in any research project. I would like to ask some questions about graduate studings in US. I am willing to apply for Msc/Phd but there two major problems. Even though being admitted in a phd programm gives you a tution waiver plus a salary, it is harder to get admitted than a Msc and pursuing a phd is a big commitment for at least 5 years. On the other hand, Msc is easier to get in, you get a taste of how the system works,helps you decide either gettin a job or continue for a phd but it costs a fortune. So i would like to ask you if there is any change to apply for a Msc and get a tution waiver, by getting involved in R.A ans T.A? Also, although i am in the end of my stydies, i haven't made my mind clear which sectors of EE, i love most. I am very interested in AI, Digital Electronic Systems as well as Microprocessors. Are there any EE Masters with a wide ranges of courses in order to decide what career path to pursue? Thank you and excuse me for my bad English
