Hi all,
You all seem like intelligent folks, so I am hoping I can get your opinions one way or the other on stopping school with a MS degree or taking the dive and going for the PhD in Mech. Eng. I ask for your thoughts because I have been thinking about this dilemma for some time with no clear answers. It is my understanding that the MS degree is more flexible, yet the PhD gives you freedom of thought. Each degree has its pros ans cons which brings up the great debate! So, I open the floor to your comments.
