Canada_ECE_Master Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Should I go for an ECE master or keep looking for jobs? (Knowing it's tough to find a job nowaday...) Anyone with an ECE bachelor degree found a job in Canada? Could you share more details about it please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TulipOHare Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 (Disclaimer: I'm not Canadian, and not specifically familiar with the current Canadian job market beyond what I read in The Economist.) It looks like you're in, from your signature. How long does the Master's take? Will you be funded, or have to take it on loans? And how much does the Master's improve your chance of getting a job?

And how much does the Master's improve your chance of getting a job? It takes on average 2 years full-time. My McGill prof. mentioned funding 10K-20K CND per I don't know what period (but I guess he wasn't sure because the project I chose was a new one?). Possible TA work was mentioned. From what I remember, Quebec tuition is one of the lowest in America, which is good. Some job postings say master/phd applicants are preferred, but during my 2 internships I found graduate studies aren't that useful. Maybe I should try to do it part-time (if I can find a job, yeah)? I don't wanna be too busy though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
