Hello,

I am about to graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Bioengineering and I am debating whether or not to continue my education and enroll in a Master's program or to jump straight into finding a job in the industry. How important would you say it is to get a Master's degree in Bioengineering?

Of course, I have been told that a Master's degree makes it easier to find a job in the field; however, is it really extremely difficult to find a job in Bioengineering with only a Bachelor's degree? Furthermore, is it worth the cost (about $30,000 - $40,000 in most colleges) of enrolling in a graduate degree program?

Thanks for your help!
