After I graduated college with a bachelor’s degree in computer science, I managed to find a job right after graduation. I’ve been there for a couple of years and things are going great. But given the job market for computer engineers, to standout among other engineers, I decided to try and get my Master’s degree.
But now, I’m struggling to see if it’s worth the effort. My classes don’t teach me the things I’m doing at work, and I’m only taking one class a semester to balance both. Even one of my work-friends says that he didn’t think his master’s was worth the effort. And graduating was a huge weight off my shoulders, I just don’t want to be back at school.
But on the other hand, I don’t think quitting will make me look good. My boss knew I was going for my master’s, and my parents constantly advised me to do it when I wanted to back away from it. If I stop now, I feel my boss and my parents won’t really like that.
So that’s where I am right now. Burned out, but feeling unable to stop. What should I do?
