Is getting a masters in mining engineering worth it?
If you want to work in industry instead of doing research or teaching, I would go to work after your bachelor’s. You will be more marketable by having experience because you come off better in a job interview by being able to talk about the real world. Once you see what you like to do, you can even switch careers by getting your masters in an area that is applicable to a job you like or would like to have, AND, your employer may even pay for it!
