Should I get my master's right away or wait to see if the company I work for can pay for it?

The reason I ask is because I've heard a few professors talk about how they landed jobs with companies willing to pay for their Master's degree.

How much harder is it for a minority to get a job after college graduation?

I understand, in today's society, we are much more open and accepting to race. However, this question comes from experience. When I was in middle school, I was walking home once and was stopped, handcuffed and searched by a police officer because I looked "suspicious." That wasn't even my...

Is it true that a person's major/degree doesn't necessarily set one up for a career in that field?

If I'm majoring in Mechanical Engineering, for example, but over time find a new branch of engineering that is more appealing, would having that degree be a waste? #mechanical-engineering

How do I get an internship with a career where confidentiality is key?

I want to see what its like in the daily life of a Medical Social Worker, but I understand that the privacy is important from patient to professional, and personally, I would not want to put my business out there to someone who is barely learning the ropes.

Is there a fair advantage of people that go to lower income schools than others that go to better schools? and also does going to a private high school give you a greater chance to bing better at school than others that go to a public school?

I live in San Leandro in the bay area and my school campus is so old compared to others schools. Other schools have such great campus and a better environment. Also I have great goals I want to achieve and I want to know what is best for me.
